The arc fault breakers work on frequency levels. There has been problems with whirlpool refrigerators tripping them. This is also happening with some Sony televisions. Opening the door on the fridge is sending just the right one out. The electrical panels have 2 phases in them. 120 volts each. The fridge and the circuit that's tripping are surely on the same phase. Move one to a different phase and the problem should go away.

How does a homeowner do this?

When we first moved in the breaker shut off each time I plugged in the vacuum. I never had this problem in my previous home. Called warranty and the technician said I needed to plug it into the bathroom outlet as this often happened with vacuums in TV. I think it is a plot to not vacuum anymore because we are retired

The 2 legs are each a phase and I wouldn't recommend a homeowner doing this unless they know what they're doing.
