Nuisance trips of this sort are a PITA. We have returned from holiday twice to find the freezer a mass of food going off. In our case it was a flaky RCD, and replacing it cured the main problem. But when we had major work carried out when we had the kitchen remodeled, the electrical contractor fed new wiring to the fridge and freezer sockets to a separate RCBO circuit, so even if the RCD tripped and took out all the other circuits, the fridge and freezer stayed on.
But if you have leakage somewhere that is triggering the problem - as others said the individual circuits need to be isolated and individually tested. Personally I'd get a qualified electrician in; it might cost a couple of hundred, but you will end up with a certified job done that can be used for insurance purposes.
