It's recommended to check the existing wiring and outlet for compatibility with the treadmill's power requirements. If the current setup doesn't meet the requirements for a 20A German-built treadmill, it may be necessary to upgrade the wiring and outlet to ensure safe and reliable operation.

If you can plug the fridge into another outlet and it comes on, then the issue is either a bad outlet connection or the circut breaker may be going out and needs replacement. Try the fridge on another outlet 1st. If it trips that one too then there is a short in your fridge.
If the wall receptacle has tripped but not at the circuit breaker, it could be a faulty GFCI outlet. Try pushing the reset button on the GFCI outlet itself to restore power. If that doesn't work, you may need to replace the GFCI outlet. Make sure to turn off the power at the breaker before attempting any repairs.
If it is a 30 amp breaker then it is a 240 volt outlet.
First, check the circuit breakers; make sure they are all ON. Find out if any other outlets on the same breaker are working; it's always possible that a breaker is faulty. If the breaker is on and everything else on the circuit is working, it could be as simple as a poor connection inside the outlet. Also even though the outlet is not a GFCI, it may be fed from a GFCI outlet. Check near by outlets to see if any are GFCI and are tripped.
No, you cannot simply cap one leg of a 240-volt circuit and change the breaker to convert it into a 120-volt outlet. This requires rewiring the circuit to provide 120 volts, including changing the outlet and possibly other components to be compatible with the lower voltage. It's recommended to consult with a licensed electrician to properly convert the outlet.
To change an outlet, first turn off the power to the outlet at the circuit breaker. Remove the cover plate and unscrew the outlet from the electrical box.
