[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] refrig

[Steve Isenberg]

1. What changed between (when it was working and not tripping the circuit
breaker) and (now when circuit breaker trips)?
2. Does the breaker trip as soon as you plug in the refrigerator or reset
the circuit breaker?
3. Has it been exposed to water (e.g., flooded basement)?
4. Could the power cord be damaged?  (rodents might chew on it)

For #1 I'm wondering if you moved it to a new spot or plugged something
else in on the same circuit, and then the problem started.
For #2 if it happens immediately when you plug it in or reset the breaker,
this would make me think there might be a short in the refrigerator (which
leads to #1, when did this start?)
