    Good afternoon,
    I purchased this fridge-freezer just over 6 years ago and it has performed excellently. I did consider it expensive, and assumed I would at least get 10-12 years out of it. However, lately it has been tripping the breaker. It start periodically a few months ago, and now its more frequent (once a week). The condition is getting worse.
    I live in Ireland and it is hard to find someone to support this. The panasonic dealer in Dublin offers no technical advise and their rep in the area is hard to get to do anything. He eventually came last week and changed a soleniod, but it hasn’t worked.
    So I have looked at the online manual, and find I have a fault code of H 34. This points towards a control PCB or 3 way valve.
    Could anyone please give me some advice on moving forward. Thanks.

    when ant appliance is tripping a breaker ( I am assuming its the RCD the one with the test button) it has an earth fault. Before you look at fault codes you need to find the source of the leakage
    your fault code could be the result of this leakage. This trade is full of examples of fault codes coming up due to earth faults

    Thanks electrofix,
    I have isolated the issue to the dispenser system, when I unplug CON301 from the dispenser PCB, I the breaker wont trip. Problem is the tripping is intermittent so I will have to take it apart and look for the problem.
