Tripping electricity freezer is tripping elcb switch on fuse board, when it is plugged in it may work for about 6hours and then it trips switch.

Not much to a freezer, try replacing the safety switch or plug in outlet.

do a amp check on the compressor and fans.That will tell you exactly what is overloading.

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.

My first instinct is to ask you, are you plugging this freezer into a GFI outlet, one which has a breaker switch as part of the outlet? If so, that is the culprit and not the freezer, as refrigerators and freezers will often trip this ground fault indicator because water can on occasion reach ground, which causes the breaker to trip on the outlet.

Test this by plugging the freezer into a non GFI outlet for longer than a few days. Nothing is broken and you dont need refrigerator repair service.

dear sir /madam
if your freezer,s electrical safety switch is tripped of it,s an electrical problem it can be possible your compressor getting extra load and there is some electrical trouble please contact to your freezer maintenance personnel for further action.

hope answer the question
thank you

Hi,

• Make sure the freezer is plugged in
• Check for a blown fuse or tripped circuit breaker
• Test the power outlet for voltage
• Inspect the electrical cord for damage
• Eliminate use of an extension cord, if any is being used
• Check the outage votageIf power is reaching the electrical outlet, trace the freezer wiring and test components as you go. Either there is a short, which must be located and repaired, or the freezer has sustained electrical damage.

Thanks.

yes,the freezer is tripping the elcb.

Try it in a normal plug. Freezers and refridgerators just pull too much to be used on a GFCI. The more a GFCI is used the eaiser it trips.

it may not be the freezer. ground fault recept. are known to go bad pretty regular. upplug freezer and see if it still trips. It doesn't take much to trip one, so look for something simple

good place to start is the starting device for the compressor.slip the cover off the compressor electrics on lhs of compressor usually and you may find the relay burnt out.tyhis is the mostly area but if elsewhere, look at the defrost element and check wiring loom
