When I researched my problem I found it happens often, so no need to panic. If GFI trips try another outlet first if possible before giving up.




By the way, if you have a residential fridge, don't you also have an inverter and large battery bank? If so, can't you run fridge from batteries overnight assuming batteries are fully charged?
Thanks, good to know. I can run a cord to a standard outlet in the garage if that's the case.

I have 2 batteries (12 volt) and an inverter. Batteries are fully charged, yes. Do you think the fridge can run on them all night?
