I will start off by saying: I am terrified of electricity. So be gentle-
Got a new (used) fridge/freezer for the garage (Frigidaire) works great- After plugging it is, purrs just fine for about 2-3 hours ,freezer freezes, fridge is cold. Then, the GFI plug trips shutting off the fridge. un plugged the other outlets that were "dead" so now its just the fridge, reset the red button on the outlet, a few hours later, trips the outlet again (The breaker at the panel is fine)
A bit of research suggests the GFI switch may be bad, try replacing (apparently they go bad?) house is about 20 years old, your thoughts?
