2023 NEC Kitchen GFCIs

[@madero330]

Everytime i get called to check out a non-working refrigerator i find out it's always related to the GFCI. Fridges trip the GFCIs and i don't know why. any word on it?

I was about to ask the same thing. We just got a new Bosch 800 fridge and surprise - trips the GFCI receptable at the countertop. Old LG Fridge from 2018 and before that a GE Fridge never tripped the GFCI. Wondering what makes the Bosch so special to do this?

This is so frustrating. If a trip occurs behind the stove, fridge, or dishwasher, how are you supposed to reset it? A Wolf, Viking, Miele, or Thermador stove can easily weigh 350 lbs.

I install breakers for those situations. If you have to remove a piece of equipment, it's better to have a GFCI or dual function breaker. Freaking insanity.
