I own an older home (60's) that has undergone some remodelling (at least 4 previous owners).
All the bathrooms have GFCI outlets but the kitchen did not.
Potions of the house have been painted & I replaced the old GCFI's (ivory) with new white ones (my wife wanted them to match the paint).
I decided to use one of the old ivory GFCI's to protect the daisey chain of outlets in the kitchen. I installed the the CFCI but when I hotted the circuit it immediately tripped & would not reset.
I checked to make sure I had installed it correctly & also checked all the outlets with a circuit tester........everything ok.
I unplugged the fridge & the GFCI rest fine.
Plug in the fridge, the GFCI trips & will not reset.............fridge has a problem?
Suggestions?
cheers Bob
