Do we assume that this is a refrigerator of some sort ?

Try tracing the circuit out with a multi-meter.

Maytag is an american F/Freezer.
Is this an old or new unit.?

Some are 120v units fed through a transformer (auto not isolating) mounted in the base of the cabinet.

What is the value of the fuse that blows? - I assume that you are replacing it 'like for like'.

Sometimes there is a circuit drawing on a sticker on the back of the unit....have a look at yours.

What do you mean by the main fuse ( in the lighting panel ? ), and tripping the fuse board.......what is that about ? Blowing the fuse on the board? Yes, see if there is a print on the back of the fridge, and find out what this fuse proetects.

I would take it that the main fuse is the 13A one in the plug, and the fuse in the main board is the circuit breaker for the ring main in his house.??

Use a multimeter to check the compressor, or a megger if you have one.
