Circuit breaker keeps popping from fridge. I have changed the outlet to GFI, now both are tripping after fridge is plugged back in. this just started happening,any answers for the problem WHIRLPOOL-ULTRA EASE PLUS
Unless there is a dedicated circuit of 20 amps to the refrigerator this will continue to happen When your refrigerator goes into defrost and other things like lights fans air conditioners are on the same circuit it will have no choice to not trip the breaker. Try this turn the breaker off and how may thing in your house stop working? You need a 20 AMP circuit or this will possibly damage the compressor or weaken the breaker because it has tripped so many time. Thanks, Please rate my solution, I have done this work for 30 years. Thanks, Sea Breeze
If you have more questions or need help feel free to let me know, Thanks, Sea Breeze

You have short circuit in downstream of the fridge circuit breaker. And then you connect GFI, it is more sensitive to short circuit. Coz it use to sense small leakage current. I don't put this in solution since you may want more specific solution. Just a help or clue from me. Regards.
