Morning Guys
Moved fridge from one location to another now each time it is plugged in it trips the house circuit breaker RCD
Having searched on this forum and youtube i have carried out the following continuity tests and readings from the multimeter
disconnected heater defrost element fridge then powers up, but the fan, compressor etc does not run
continuity test set to bleep, on the fan i get a reading of 232 but no audible bleep from the multimeter :?
continuity test again on the defrost heater element i get a reading of 86 but again no audible bleep from the multimeter :?
continuity test carried out on the thermal cut off after having put it in another fridge freezer we have to prove if it works, i get a reading of 0 and the multimeter bleeps. I have then proceeded to warm up the thermal cut off i then get a reading of 1 and no audible bleep
Any ideas what could be at fault? or is there anything else i could test?
Cheers
