Traulsen 22010 freezer. Runs and cools fine a few days then trips breaker. Start components and breaker check OK. Compressor checks OK. Where to check next
If the breakers is an RCD unit , it will trip from a ground leakage problem that is not related to the freezer but to wiring insulation, vermin infestation, ants , moisture, other electrical items using the same circuit etc -- if the breaker is --for example a 10 amp breaker and the unit is a 10 amp unit-- then the power surge every time the freezer switches on to run pushes the breaker to it.s limit and should mains power voltage to down a bit , that will trip the breaker have an electrician check the circuit for insulation quality, power flow ( amps ) when the unit is running or switches on and if necessary fit a breaker that is 5 amps bigger than the one in use

Has the breaker been replaced? Is the breaker the correct amp rating?
Breaker is 20 amp.
I think you have a defective compressor module.
