My guess is there is some exposed wire some place in the house and a spark is happening when you open the ref door. Then the safety feature of the circuit breaker shuts off the line. Makes no sense as to why you would be getting the spark (bear wire touching a ground) when you open the door.
A bad switch on the appliance could cause the problem on its circuit but I don't see how it would affect other circuits.
