I believe that breaker is actually for door frame heaters. Most true freezers have a resettable breaker for the door perimeter heaters only.

My FFA70 fridge/freezer is causing my circuit breaker to trip, when I reset the circuit breaker the fridge/freezer will work again, but both the red bight temp warning light and the freezer defrost light...

kevinmdoyle... Hello and welcome to FIXYA,

Yours is a UK model... so I (usa) can't help you
on SPARES (motor start capacitor) ... however

Circuit breakers do go bad...!!
(easiest & cheapest to check first)

MUCH Easier to test the idea than you would imagine:
- Shut OFF your main breaker.
- Open your panel & swap the wire with an EQUAL breaker
- Tag the wires (to restore when finished trouble shooting)
- Restore the main breaker (wait & see)...

and don't forget to clean that CONDENSOR
per owner manual instructions.

If the failure persists... RESORE the BREAKERS.
and
HOPE it is the START CAPACITOR on your compressor.

Regarding replacing the temperature control on the True t-23f freezer, I can't find it.

As soon as you open the freezer door the temp control is at the upper right of the freezer.

The fan on my true t 23f does not run. i check it is not getting power is there a fuzz or capacitor for this thanks

Are you talking about the fan inside the freezer? If yes, check the following items. The door has a switch that turns the lights off when the door closes, it also turns the fan off when you open the door. If it isn't working right the fan won't come on. There is also a round temperature senser on the coil inside the freezer called a "clickson" that keeps the fan from coming on until the coils are below 20 degrees, it may be bad. If you are low on freon, your coils may not be getting cold enough to trip the clickson. Feel of the small copper line going from the compressor to the coils on the outside of the freezer. It should be almost hot enough to burn your skin if you have enough freon. One other thing to check is the defrost timer. It is a box about 4 inches wide and 8 inches tall with a door on the front of it. Check the connections inside to be sure you are getting power through to the fan. Let me know how it turns out.

This should take you to the site for the owners manual. You may be looking for a technical manual inwhich True doesn't do that. I will be more than happy to answer any questions should this manual not have what you're looking for.
Good Luck.

Kenmore commercial upright freezer not sealing well - thawing

If the door seal does not seal completely, replace it. This is very important for freezers.
