Electrical – Bought a US appliance and powered directly off Aus mains, is it boned

Really hard to answer this because there are unknowns.

• What does that earth light mean? No earth/ground/ or there is a ground.
• How's it wired inside? If they wire it between live/hot and earth/ground that is already an imbalance. Maybe the switch on the 6-way is double pole and neutral opens before the hot. That will cause an imbalance and may trip it.

Try another 6-way with no earth indicator.

Or unplug the strip not switching off the strip's switch. Just leave it on.

Is it possible that the breaker is tripped but hasn't completely flipped to the "off" position? The breakers we have do this and it's hard to notice which one has flipped unless you look very carefully to see if one is ever so slightly dislodged from the "on" position. If this is the case, switching it to the "off" position is required to be able to reset it to "on". In my case, when I switch to "off" after it has tripped, the effort required to switch it to "off" feels different than if it was properly "on".

If all that is the case, then you probably want to look to see what appliances or devices on that circuit are new, or if you're operating more than you normally do. If there's a new device on the circuit, then try relocating it to another circuit or just unplug it to see if the circuit behaves the same.

If there are no new devices on the circuit, then perhaps there's something wrong with the refrigerator, but that is outside my knowledge to troubleshoot.
