tting food spoil. I suppose Botulism is unheard there, as well?
If we get a breaker trip, which doesn't happen often, people switch it back on, and if necessary plug the fridge freezer in somewhere else. It doesn't seem to be a significant issue. If you only had the fridge on the circuit it would take far longer to realise power was lost.

I'm not aware of ours suffering that. Why do they have alot of leakage?
Lucas electrics weren't the ultimate, but weren't too bad really. And it was a long time ago.
I've never heard of Lucas fridges.

If it trips with only the fridge or freezer on the circuit, resetting th e breaker wouldn't do any good, if a few hundred Watt load is tripping a 20 A breaker.
Indeed, if the fridge trips the breaker then it is broken...shorted motor or similar. Not going to work any better on another outlet! Whereas sometimes you can pop a breaker and not realize it.
One can always get a battery powered fridge alarm - I have it on our deep freeze, but my wife doesn't want it on the house fridge as she doesn't like the look of it...

And don't overlook the fact that the breaker could be SNAFU. They're not designed to be switched off and on again -- over and over.

Or you can make Pimpom's blackout alarm (l> I made this little gadget for myself several years ago and have
Who does that to a fridge or freezer? I've only shut off one breaker to kill a fridge that had a damaged thermostat and was it icing over. It was m y dad's house, and he was going to stay at my sister's so there was no reas on to let the compressor run 24/7/365.25 days a rear. I need to haul it to the landfill for it can be sent for recycling.
How long can the piezo sound when powered by a 1000ufd cap? Perhaps a small battery would be a good addition...
