Just purchased a newly constructed home in Charlotte. Every time you open the refrigerator, a breaker trips. Electrician sent by warranty company said it is due to a frequency emitted by the refrigerator (a Whirlpool). He put some sort of sensor on the back of the fridge and that was supposed to fix the issue. Guess what - no fix.

To stave off any questions, house has been empty (no other appliances other than builder appliance plugged in). We are lucky, the electrician told a story about another new home where 4 breakers trip every time they open the fridge.

Electrician said The Villages is talking with Whirlpool about the issue. Seems to me that there should have been a disclosure of this issue before closing.

Would like to know who else out there is having this problem.

Thanks.
