Plug your fridge in another outlet and see what happens. If fridge works fine then it's not you fridge.
Try plugging something else on gfci outlet and if it still tripped you gfci outlet is bad .
If fridge tripped other outlet then your fridge is on its way out maybe a bad compressor
First thing to do if it is continually tripping is to replace the gfci. they do go bad over time. Shut the breaker off to it. remove and note which wires go to which screw. if it gets wired wrong because going by memory. tis not fun trying to figure it out.
Best of luck
hope this helps and solves it. It should, if not call a tech for the fridge. or post model and make and we can go from there.
SOURCE: GARAGE FRIDGE STILL TRIPPING THE GFCI ....WHY?
If your frig is plugged directly into a GFCI, you need to remove the GFCI and replace it with a standard plug. No one should have a GFCi behind a refrigerator.

Hi, Are you unplugging the big black hard wire that goes under the evaporator coil in the freezer. If so, that is the defrost heater and it has gone bad. Please let me know if I can explain anything further.
Thanks
Vic
SOURCE: GFI outlet is tripping because of refrigerator in the garage.
Hi: Yes, replace the GFI outlet. A refrigerator should not be plugged into one for what you are experiencing and food loss. This was an easy answer for me, but unfortunately not for you The owners manual covers this, but us men don't read them (Well I had to as I worked with them for 30 years). Good luck, Jeff

Hi!!
Right beside the circuit panel, there is a grill, remove the 4 screws to gain access to the transformer/battery charger. You'll see a double power outlet, one cord is from fridge, the other is from the transformer. UNPLUG Transformer cord and reset breaker.
It will take a couple of minutes for the fridge to change to AC if you have it in AUTO. If everything works fine, REPAIR OR REPLACE TRANSFORMER/BATTERY CHARGER.
Don't forget to rate this answer, Good Luck!!!

Hi,
As the weather is getting warmer for many people their freezer and/or refrigerator do not work right because of a dirty condenser coil...
Check out this tip that I wrote about that... it is a great place to start trouble shooting your unit...and something that you can do rather then calling a repair person to do a simple thing for you...
