Freezer pops outlet

Gabbard · 2006-08-05T22:14:17+00:00

Last night my Maytag deep freeze popped the outlet in our garage. Ihit the reset on the outlet and it popped it again right away. We leftthe freezer unplugged (got everything out of it) and this morning Itried again...same result. At first I thought it must be the outlet soI plugged in a radio and it did fine. I then ran an extension cordinto my house and tried the freezer off an outlet in my kitchen. Samething, popped the outlet. So now I'm pretty sure it's the freezer.It's only around a year old, but what could be going on with it that'smaking it draw so much current? I'd appreciate any help.Thanks,Jeff
