Hi Kurt

Sounds like your defrost element has gone.
It looks like a small oven element at the back of the freezer(usually hidden behind a metal plate) It usually sits below the freezer fins and defrosts any ice they may build up over say 12 to 24 hours.
When it goes into defrost mode the faulty element then trips out your RCD.

I know because my Westinghouse frost free fridge freezer was doing the same thing till I tested and changed mine.
