    Tripping the breaker is a heat issue . Possible causes : weak breaker worn out . Refrigerator thermostat  set too high drawing too much juice . Solutions possible : replace breaker ,check voltage draw on power cord for refrigerator. Suggest a pro for this unless you are comfortable sticking a probe in a hot socket and know what the meter is telling you . At issue is overheated wiring and possible fire . Best get good advice and see if home owners insurance covers it .   Bill
