A refrigerator that trips the breaker
A refrigerator that trips a breaker or a GFCI has a short or a leak to ground somewhere. Common sources are a defrost heater, a fan motor that water has reached, the compressor, or a damaged power cord. What to do:
- Move food to coolers or a second refrigerator.
- Do not keep resetting the breaker. Each trip can stress the wiring.
- Check the cord behind the refrigerator for crushed or burnt spots.
- If it is plugged into an extension cord or power strip, that alone can be the cause. Refrigerators should plug straight into the wall.
Side by side not cooling
On a side by side, check the freezer first. If the freezer is cold and the fresh food side is warm, the fan or defrost system is the likely cause. If both sides are warm and the back of the refrigerator is quiet, the compressor is not running, and that points to the start relay, the control or the compressor itself.
