    Thanks appreciate the help. If I burn my house down I will blame it on JIC. 
    Some of y'all think you're clever blaming me like this without citing my handle directly.  You're not clever.  You're weak.  

    Pro tip: I am smarter than you.  
    Dude. Aren't you a traveling salesman?
    What do you have against traveling salesmen? I'm in Philly tomorrow, NYC the two weeks after that, then New Orleans for BC, then Cincinnati when I get back.

    Nothing. So long as you're not in i.t. for some networking company...

    So glad I'm not the salesman anymore, sales engineer is much more my calling.

    I feel like with all the comments tonight I’m ready to become a certified electrician. I do see that the outlet is broken now. 
    When you go buy a new outlet be sure to pick up an outlet/circuit tester. They're less than $10.

    I'm no electrician but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express once. I believe that appliances like a refrigerator, which has a compressor, should not be plugged in to a GFCI plug. I would not change it since it might go to other plugs.

    How did I miss this thread?
    When I demolished and rebuilt my kitchen, I had to rewire everything from the exterior junction box, on in. If you have a very old home, be sure you check that.
    We were lucky (maybe not, in hind sight?), this old money pit, did not burn to the ground.

    So I replaced the plug and the circuit breaker and as soon as I plug the refrigerator invit kicks the breaker. Now it sounds like the compressor is kicking in and out and I think the extra amps is what is kicking the breaker. I guess it’s either replace the refrigerator or replace the compressor. Refrigerator manufacturer Date is 2000 but it looks great.
