Do you know Electricity?
 

The breaker for my refrigerator keeps clicking off. I switch it over and it cuts off again. What is going on?

First step in diagnostics is to check the energy tag on your fridge and see how much juice she sucks.

Next is to check the breaker to see how much juice that can handle. We just ran into this problem with the AC, If everything matches up, we'll get to the next step then ;)

Call an electrician, before something happens. Even if someone here CAN come up with the actual problem, are you going to be able to fix it yourself? This sounds like much more than a simple breaker problem. It may cost a bit, but in the long run, it will be well worth it.

If a circuit breaker keeps tripping, either the breaker itself is defective or the electrical appliance that is plugged into it is drawing too much current, and probably has a fairly serious problem.

The only other thing I can think of is that you have other things (toaster oven, microwave, etc.) plugged into the same circuit as the fridge, and they add up to more current than the breaker is rated for -- or one of them is seriously defective. Things that make heat or have motors tend to be the biggest power draws.

Try unplugging other stuff in the kitchen and see if the breaker stays on. If it does, you're probably overloading the circuit.

In theory, if there's a problem with the refridgerator, the breaker is tripping to protect the circuit from overloading, then overheating and possibly causing a fire.

One way or another, an electrician isn't a bad idea. You really don't want to take a chance with a fire. Just know that if the breaker isn't the problem, you end up calling an appliance repairperson as well.

Edited to add -- the stove is not a part of the equation. Stoves almost always have their own circuit and are the only thing on it. So, don't bother unplugging the stove.

I have set up an electrician, thanks guys!

Kinda curious to know what the problem turns out to be...
