Hoping for a bit of advice please so I can call the right person to fix a problem.
RCD tripped overnight and have isolated the cause to be when the back of the fridge freezer touches the copper central heating pipes that run behind it. This is because it only happens when the fridge is pushed back into position and is due to contact, rather than pressure on the socket for example. Worryingly, there appears to be carbon deposits on both the pipes and back of fridge where they have touched.
The fridge has been in this exact position for over 2 years so it seems odd that this has only just happened. Basically, please could someone advise whether this sounds like a fault with the appliance or the house electric wiring as I want to call the appropriate tradesman to fix the problem. My gut feel is it's the appliance but would appreciate a more educated opinion!
