Hi,
I recently renovated a house and had the house rewired. All has been going well until Tuesday morning I woke up and the RCD had tripped during the night. I tried resetting it and it wouldn't reset. Then I plugged out the fridge and it reset. Then last night it tripped again and it rest no problem. And this morning I woke up and it had tripped again. This time I had to plug out the fridge to reset.
I'm going to call my electrician today but is it likely that my fridge has developed a fault? It's an integrated fridge.
Any advice appreciated.
