Symptom
Freezer trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when plugged in or when compressor starts.
Electrical Short / Earth Leakage
Symptom
Freezer vibrates excessively and can be heard in adjacent rooms.
Cabinet Vibration / Installation Issue
Symptom
Freezer will not start at all, no lights, no display, completely dead.
No Power / Supply Fault
Symptom
Heavy frost build-up on evaporator cover and food, requiring frequent manual defrosting.
