It could be the circuit breaker, those do sometimes go bad, but it could certainly be something plugged into that circuit pulling more current than it should. Try disconnecting everything on that circuit. Does the breaker still pop? No? Plug one thing in. Pop? If not, keep going until you find the one that's a problem, and check the total amount of current all the devices you have plugged in use.
Most standard plug circuits are only rated at 15 amps. For example, a toaster may pull 12, a hair dryer 10. You can't run both at the same time on one circuit.
Sounds like the heating element has gone out again. Once you reset the circuit breaker and the tub turns on it will start to circulate the water. This usually runs like this for about 2 mins and then the tub will recognize it is cold and send power to the heater. If the element is back at that point it will blow the circuit breaker. If this circuit breaker pops as soon as you turn it on then you most likely have a bad circuit board.
This sounds like a main control problem. More specifically like one of the relays is shorted. You will need to acess the main control and carefully inspect it for any burn marks. If you don't see any disconnect the main power supply wire going to the main control. Then plug it back in if it trips the breaker the problem is in the power cord or wiring from the cord junction to the main control. If it does not trip the breaker the problem is the main control.

You must find the reason the main breaker is popping ...
I'd start by unplugging everything and remove all breakers. Turn the main on ... does it pop? If it pops here look between the breaker panel and the end of your cord. Turn the power off - reinstall the first breaker - turn power back on. What happens ... keep doing this until the main or individual breaker pops - investigate that circuit to find your short.
If you get all breakers back in with out popping anything ... start plugging stuff back in. Something is shorting somewhere.
This a ground fault breaker. They do go bad. Is it kicking it all the time or when you plug it in. I replaced a lot of the ground fault plugs. You have to go to the Appliance Parts store to get a new power cord. If you have a problem with thisyour warranty should cover the power cord check your warranty. Rus
It is very doubtful that a defrost heater would do anything by open (NOT short) so that is not a likely cause of you popping the breaker. I would look at the compressor relay and capacitor as more likely areas that would cause it. UNLESS the compressor is locked up and that would cause it everytime.
