said by XBL2009:I feel so bad reading this thread, my old house had no GFCI's and the fuse box was actually a fuse box.
New house only has GFCI's in the bathrooms.
Plus the 20 year old failing refrigerator just kept on working and no one died.
In this thread I have seen motors can cause false GFCI trips. Then read junk the refrigerator because it is unsafe and failing because it is tripping the GFCI. I do not remember any refrigerator deaths from my childhood before GFCI from electric. Probably happened somewhere but with all the old fridges that used to last forever if it was a high risk I should have had at least one death somewhere local to me.
