Could it be a fault in the consumer unit itself?

Thanks

If you're not worried that there's an actual hazardous fault anywhere
then you could move a circuit from the RCD side to the non-RCD side,
perhaps starting with the fridge circuit. *(It sounds like you have a
split load unit - sockets on the RCD, lights on the non-RCD)

The consumer unit is just a box of components so I guess it could be a
particular component in there isn't right.

I'm not worried that there's an actual hazardous fault anywhere, but
that's only because none of us has been electrocuted recently. I
think you're right, we do have a split load circuit. Presumably it's
an electrician's job to do the circuit moving as you suggest?

Thanks

We had problems with random tripping and it turned out to be a bit of
the dishwasher causing it. Even when it was just plugged in and not in
use. Sussed it cos of a bit of burnt electrical smell in the kitchen
which narrowed it down. Bits been replaced now and problem solved.
