Where is the Defrost heater physically located on this model.
The fridge/freezer is tripping the RCD on the power distribution board 20 seconds after switching on,therefore there must be a small leakage current to earth just enough to trip the RCD, the mcb is fine. An engineer suggested that it could be the Defrost heater. I have located the evaporator coils in the fridge compartment but can't see anything resembling the above image near or on the evaporator assembly.Any ideas at to what the fault could be. After defrosting overnight after the original fault, the unit ran fine for 4 hours after being switched back on, but then once again tripped the RCD.
