Samsung rsh1nhmh fridge freezer not turning on and tripping electrics

Hi,
A couple of days ago we left the door open on our samsung rsh1nhmh freezer compartment for around 12 or so hours. When we realised all the freezer food had become soggy.

The freezer(and fridge) were fine after this but we decided it would be a time to turn it off in case it needed defrosting.

After turning off for 24 hours we attempted to turn it back on. Unfortunately it wouldnt turn on and kept tripping the electrics every time we try to turn it on.

I have checked the fuse on the plug and the ones at the top of the fridge.

Does anyone know what the problem could be or what else I could check before calling an electrician?

We don't have any warranty left so any ides would be great.

Thanks,

Saf

Many freezers with "auto defrost" dispose of the melt water by letting it run into a dish fitted on top of the compressor. The when the compressor is running the heat from the compressor evaporates this water. When there is a lot of frost to melt this dish can be over filled and the excess water runs down the side of the dish and onto the compressor. In some appliances the electrical connections to the compressor are not water proof ( design error ), water gets onto the connections and the now wet electrics will cause RCDs to trip.
