The RCD on our house pops at seemingly random times. 

 

Just came back from holiday to find our power off due to a RCD trip-- luckily it was just the day before as the freezer was still cold. 

 

But, if we go on a longer holiday it could be a disaster, with our freezer and fridge going off. 

 

Is it possible to even diagnose this for a reasonable price?

 

We did have an earlier issue where the ice defrost heat element in our fridge was causing constant RCD tripping --- but that was fixed early 2015 . 

 

This seems completely random and reasonably infrequent (5-10 times a year maybe).

thanks for all the advice

 

after more trips last night i unplugged the next batch of stuff to rule them out, including my wifes laptop

 

this morning she took her laptop and plugged it in somewhere else, and the OTHER rcd tripped which has never tripped before, so looks like i have found the cause.
