Actually, its a True T-72 refrigerator. After running for a few weeks, the unit trips the breaker and continues to do it unless I leave it off for a few days and then re-plug it in, at which point it runs fine for another few weeks before tripping the breaker again
Some manufacturers use a heater in a pan for the condensate water that is generated from the defrost cycle. It is usually located near the evap and compressor area. I've even seen them under the condenser coil. Look for a heated pan. You may have a bad heater. When it goes into defrost, water enters the pan and trips the breaker as the heater may be open and water enters it shorting it to ground. Waiting a few day allows the water to evaporate out. And the process starts all over again.
I would look for this first. If this does not pan out, let me know and we can dig alittle deeper. But try to have more details.
