The Whirlpool engineers are very aware of the issue. But so far, neither Whirlpool or The Villages have offered a solution.
Bad part is - would you buy a house where there have been electrical issues since day 1? I think not so the value of our home has been drastically reduced if not erased.
Totally a bad situation with no help in sight.

If Pike's Electric did the wiring when the house was built you may want to talk to them. Pike's has a lot of experience with this problem. They put a suppressor on the power cord of our refrigerator that solved our problem. The Arc Fault circuit breakers sensitivity is a factor in the problem.
