What should I do if the fridge trips the supply after cleaning?

Leave it unused and seek qualified assessment rather than repeatedly resetting the supply. The timing after cleaning is relevant but does not prove that moisture is the only cause.

What the observation tells you

Water may have reached an unsuitable area, or an unrelated electrical fault may have become apparent. Drying the visible surface does not establish that concealed parts are safe. Do not remove covers, use a hairdryer or substitute a larger fuse.

A useful next step

Explain the cleaning method, affected area and what happened when power was restored. Protect food elsewhere. A repairer can assess the appliance and an electrician can assess the supply where required.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
