My brand new Samsung fridge has tripped the upstream GFCI since day 1. Called an electrician, and he just moved it off the upstream circuit and called it a day

I know many (european) electricians that would label that a wreckless action. It would also be illegal over here.

Weirdly enough Samsung fridges work over here without tripping RCDs.
