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.
unplug it
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.
Unplug it and replace it.
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.
To break a refrigerator, you must get a hammer. So get a hammer and beat the refrigerator. Or you can just throw it out of the window from a sky scraper and the refrigerator will break easily. But NEVER try this for real!
It depends on what you mean by not in use. You may unplug your refrigerator if there is absolutely no perishable food inside.
Unplug the refrigerator, remove the fuse and look at it. Typically the fuse will be dark in color, much the same as a blown light bulb.
yes, after 4 hours past since you unplugged it, you can replug it! 4 hours would be good because of how a refrigerator system works..
testing the starter
You may have experienced an electrical surge that zapped your appliances. If so, they're dead.check your breakers, but I would unplug the appliances first and plug them back in individually,in order to see if your overloading the circuits.Good luck!
Of course you can. Most people leave their refrigerators plugged in for years. It's actually quite rare for someone to unplug their refrigerator.
Try holding the on/off switch to turn it off. When it is off unplug it and plug it back in. Then turn the refrigerator back on. It worked for me.
