I moved into my house a year ago and my refigerator is plugged into a two prong outlet (via a three prong adapter). We want to buy a new fridge and replace the 2 prong outlet.
From what I understand, I can replace the existing two prong outlet with a GFCI outlet even though there is no existing third (ground) wire present. Is this correct?
(BTW, there is no other place for my fridge to go..it's a very small kitchen..)
Also, will the on/off operation of the refrigerator keep tripping the breaker on that kind of outlet?
