Samsung fridge freezer model RSG5DUMH tripping RCD

[Stubear]

Hi my Samsung American fridge freezer model RSG5DUMH serial No B12343CSA00839 keeps tripping my RCD. Everything seems to be working ie freezer compartment freezing and fridge compartment chilling.
I tried the self diagnostic test as stated on the back of the unit by pressing the power freeze and lighting buttons for 8-10 seconds and I get a continuous beeping if that helps.
I have read a lot of reports on different forums but not for my particular model, can anyone help please?

The most likely fault is the defrost heater in the fridge compartment.

Hi Bob thanks for your reply, is there a way of checking if it is the defrost heater and is it something I can replace myself?

You will need an engineer to check and replace it.
