This is approximately what occured with my Keurig coffee maker. Do you perhaps have one of these.
I don’t have one of those but that’s interesting. I’ll be sure to unplug the coffee maker and see how it goes.
I hope that you got your refrigerator working. I had one too that started tripping the GFI outlet. I spoke with a repairman and he did not recommend having a refrigerator on a GFI outlet. Something to do with the defrost cycle.
Yes, that’s what our repairman said also. We switched out the plug and it has been fine since then.
