Refrigerator Circuit Breaker Tripping: Ensure Proper Amperage Rating
When a refrigerator’s compressor, a high-power component, kicks in, it draws a significant amount of current. If the electrical circuit that supplies the refrigerator is not equipped with a circuit breaker rated to handle this surge in current, it may cause the breaker to trip, interrupting the power supply to the refrigerator. To resolve this, ensure that the circuit breaker serving the refrigerator is of the appropriate amperage rating to accommodate the compressor’s power demand.
