I assume by "earth leakage" you mean it is on a GFI circuit? Some older GFI outlets are sensitive to and do not work well with motors or other inductive loads like your refridgerator compressor. As for the compressor feeling hot, this is usually normal.

If this is a GFI outlet, try replacing it with new unit. If it is a GFI breaker, try replacing that.

check at the back of refrigerator were water line comes in see if there have eany hole or check your freezer may be it (ajar)

its most likely a frozen water tank. try and clean the coils by the compressor and then make sure the temps for refr are set around 38. it might need to be warmed up inside the refr section. you can tell if its too cold by the vege's if lettuce, carrots and celery are crispy, then you might need to clean the coils.

If your not sure about the cooling yet I would say it's an electrical problem around the relay if u keep shutting it off the overload will kick in and well just buy a new one for all Yuri our gonna be paying im a student with 2 months to graduate just saying

Have pressure taps installed, & check the refrigerant... these refrigerators have a critical charge (meaning not a lot of refrigerant to make them work) So whoever puts gauges on it, make sure they purge their hose while screwing the hose on to the new pressure tap so there is no loss of refrigerant & no air gets into the system. It sounds to me like it is low on refrigerant.

sounds like a deftost problem. check the defrost limit switch and heating element, if good than replace the defrost timer or control.

The ER IF code indicates a failure of the icing fan.

You may notice slower ice production but the other fans should be okay.

You can select the ultra ice option and see if the fan toggles on.

The fan or the control is bad.
