The size of the breaker required for a refrigerator can vary depending on the specific electrical requirements of the refrigerator and the wiring in your home. However, most residential refrigerators typically operate on a 15-amp or 20-amp circuit.
To determine the appropriate breaker size for your refrigerator, you should consult the manufacturer's specifications or the refrigerator's user manual. These documents usually provide information about the electrical requirements, including the recommended circuit amperage.
If you're uncertain about the electrical specifications or don't have access to the manual, it's best to consult a licensed electrician. They can assess your electrical system, consider other factors such as voltage, and ensure that the refrigerator is properly connected to a circuit with the correct breaker size to avoid any electrical issues or potential hazards.
