electrical issue/outlets/refrigerator??
#2
If there is a outside outlet on the line it likely has a GFI somewhere on the circuit. There will be TEST and RESET buttons on one of the outlets or the circuit breaker.

Something could be instantly throwing the circuit breaker. Try taking the fridge off of auto and unplugging everything else. Then plug things back in one at a time to see if anything is causing it either by being shorted or just too big of a load.

Try plugging those items into a different set of outlets including the fridge using a extension cord. Should anything be bad it will trip that circuit breaker too.

Circuit breakers can get old and will trip with less of a load than they should carry. It may need to be replaced.
