This one requires more information. If the breaker trips randomly, then I say there is grounding problem between the plug and the freezer itself. I know the UK has a very large plug and it requires a serious connection into the wall. I would check and make sure you have a good ground on the box itself. You may have to removed the back and look at the connections If you have a V-OHM meter you can verify the ground through different parts of the freezer. If this never happen before and you just bought this freezer I would replace the breaker with a new one. The breaker maybe damaged and sensitive to heat from the current draw of the freezer. Also make sure it is the correct ampere required to run the freezer.

Amana upright frost free freezer, early 1970's vintage
For the love of God get rid of this death trap.

It could be that it was meant to have a neutral earth, ie the neutral is connected to earth at the substation and house inlet and somehow the live and neutral has become reversed at the plug.

You have seen the case becomes live, this may be happening due to leakage current or a short as you say.

Either way the earth was there for a reason, to stop the case from becoming dangerous and you have removed that protection.

Neither the heater element or motor windings should have continuity to the case, I'd disconnect and check these out individually to isolate the problem and repair it, then put the earth connection back before using the freezer.

Hello We have a gaggenau 2 door fridge freezer,SK 533. And it keeps tripping out the electrics. We have tried running it off a different fuse box and still it happens. Can u help?
Sounds like the defrost element in the freezer has failed in spectacular form, this is the most common fault for tripping power, or it could be the thermostat but this is highly unlikely.
If you can, gain access to the element by dismanteling the panel inside the freezer, the element will run at the base of the cooling cores with a wire at each end (black) and an earth point (green), check with multi-meter, on earth and one on black, check both ends of black. You should find you will have a flow through one of the ends that will indicate a short curcuit, replace the element if faulty.

Tripping electricity
HI, The reason for the over-pull is due to the unstable conditions located at the main PCB that controls this affected unit. The voltage is not stable, due to the damage located at the PCB(circuit instabilities). Just to be safe, have your local electrician inspect the breaker box for shorts and damage to the appropriate circuit block. If the electrician confirms that the breaker is in good condition; replace the main control board(PCB) that is mounted near the compressor or behind the rear access panel.

I've got a 19.6 cu ft commercial freezer model EV201NXMQ03 and it has recently started tripping the GFI in my garage. I've replaced the GFI with a regular outlet and the freezer is now running. it...
As you know a GFI trips with current leakage.
Test the unit with a "Megger".

Hello I own a whirlpool Fridge + Freezer.
Hi lewis,

This is very suspect if it blew straight away I would suspect the compressor going to earth, I am still not convinced with the comp after all ts ten year life is up, It could be something to do with the thermal overload on the comp if it has one.
The compressor does run for 12 hours but in that twelve hours does it reach temp? does it actually switch off on its normal routine?
where about in the uk are you?
