    UK Fridge tripping RCD via one socket but not another

    There is a good chance that you have moisture shorting out wires. Sonetimes you can give your fridge a second life if you turn it off for several days and let it dry right out. I am not saying it is not faulty, but if it is going 4 weeks without tripping, it can't be anything majour
