That said, the OPs rig is wired incorrectly if the refrigerator is not downstream of the GFCI.
Is that a code requirement? My fridge is not on a GFCI circuit.
Unless the code has changed it is, as the outlet is in a wet location.
I'm too cheap to buy a new copy, so it could be changed.
Actually, it is arguable whether that outlet is in a wet location. Mine is in a totally enclosed compartment right next to the kitchen. I can see no way for water to get in there. It never occurred to me that not being GFCI was a problem for the refrigerator.
