Is it OK to put two refrigerators on one circuit? I have one in the garage that has been there for years and want to move it to an opposite wall. When I checked the circuit breaker I found that the socket I want to move it to is on the same circuit as the refrigerator in the kitchen - so I would have two on the same circuit.

In theory, it would be OK, but since this may also be a kitchen circuit you may have trouble when other appliances are on. What you might do is use a heavy duty extension cord for a few weeks to see if there are any problems with using other appliances like the microwave, toaster coffeemaker, electric wok or whatever then decide what to do permanently.

Thanks. All the other kitchen appliances are on a GFI circuit and not on the same circuit as the refrigerator.
