Fridges are required to be grounded due to the hazardous nature they present. If you think about it, a lot of newer models are stainless steel. While they make look sleek and sharp, they also present an electric shock possibility. Add in the fact that some fridges dispense water directly, the dangers are imminent. Many homeowners run into problems when they redecorate or organize their kitchens on their own. Moving a fridge to another outlet isn’t that simple; it must be connected to a grounding outlet. Keep that in mind during your next D-I-Y renovation.
Many people have additional fridges and freezers in their basements or garages. These locations can lead to electrical shock due to their damp environments. A grounding system is necessary any time an appliance or plugged-in electronic faces outside elements of nature.
