Wine cooler trips the household circuit breaker or RCD when it starts.

Safety: Repeated tripping indicates a potentially dangerous fault. Do not continue resetting the breaker without investigation.

Steps:

• Visual inspection: Unplug the unit and inspect the mains cable, plug, and rear components for visible damage or moisture.
• Dry moisture: If there are signs of water around electrical parts, allow the unit to dry completely before retrying.
• Isolate appliance: Plug the cooler into a different, dedicated outlet to rule out house wiring issues.
• Professional diagnosis: If tripping persists, a technician should test compressor, heater (if fitted), and other loads for insulation resistance and repair or replace the faulty component.
