Shut the power off and remove the fridge receptacle. Look in the junction box to see if there is a loose connection in the back of the box. The rest of the kitchen could be wired from a three wire that has the fridge on one half of the circuit and the rest of the kitchen on the other half of the three wire circuit. The neutral would be the wire to check as it is common to both circuits.

Should I unplug kitchen electronics to lower my energy costs?

Kitchen electronics do not use electricity just by being plugged in, unless the product automatically turns on when plugged in. Your refrigerator and coffee machine use electricity when plugged in, but you do not need to unplug your toaster. Microwaves need to be unplugged if they have lights or something like that that remains on.


What do you do if there is a break in an electrical cord?

Unplug it and replace it.


What was it when you were outside you went to pick up an extension cord when it felt like something smack you in the back of the head what was it and what should you do?

That was the wet extension cord giving you an electrical shock. Most exterior electrical outlets have a ground fault so you did not receive the full impact of the shock. You will be fine. Don't pick up plugged in electrical cords when they are wet, unplug them first.
