Refrigerator tripping garage outlet
Just took the RV out from winter storage, getting ready for a road trip. Same routine I've used the past seven years. Well first item I checked for was the fridge, and it tripped the GFCI which is on a 20 amp breaker (breaker never tripped). Tried several times and used a different GFCI and breaker same results.
So I run the fridge on LP only and plug into shore power again and everything worked fine. Batteries were fully charged so I don't think the charger and fridge pulled more than the 20amp.
The next morning I checked on the fridge, 20F/ 35F so all was good. I turned the fridge back to auto so it would again go back to electric, and waited for the GFI to pop again and nothing, everything worked like it should.
Should I be concerned or was this a fluke thing? I don't remember anything about having to start the fridge on LP before switching to electric. About the only thing I can think of is the fridge needs to start off on LP and maybe it wasn't primed yet as I hadn't yet primed the burners, which did take awhile.
Thanks for any advice.
