    GE Refrigerator keeps tripping the GFCI switch when plug in.
    I cleaned my refrigerator and shortly afterwards it trips the GFCI outlet every time its plugged in. Did I blow a fuse inside the refrigerator or short circuit something out. If there is a fuse where is it usually located.

    Thanks for any help!

    Wash64864- If your (GFCI) is triping ,when you plug it in, then you have a short in the fridge. somewhere. Question ( HOW DID YOU CLEAN THE REFRIG> OUT?? ) did you use sa water hose to wash it out,? If you did you probley got water on some electrical parts, may be water still around some electrical part. There is quite a few places inside a refrig. That you can get water into and not relize that you have, and cause a short. There is no fuse that I can remember. How long after you washed it out before you plugged it back in to the gfci,? You may have tio leave it unplugged until it dryes out. Note ::I'm just guessing at your problem,anyhow I hope this helps. GOOD Luck, GOD BLESS< :::F.B.E.

    No big WD-40 fan here, but with the power off, give the motors and other electrical stuff a spray. Give it time to air out and the solvent evaporate.
