GFCIs fail over time. Might be time to replace it.

Personally, I don’t like putting a GFCI on a fridge. The motor makes them trip too often.

edit I misunderstood. You just changed your GFCI.

2 things could be happening. You could just have a particularly sensitive GFCI that you’ve installed and may want to consider replacing it again. The other possibility is that the fridge is starting to wear out. That doesn’t mean that the fridge is bad per day but it could be working worse than it used to and the motor might burn out soon. I wouldn’t replace it until that actually happens but it could happen soon.

Have now fixed the Hot NEu Reversed and all outlets are wired properly. My current beleif is that fridge is the culprit.

An aging Samsung smart fridge was never totally fond of ><

Samsung fridges are notorious for failing after just a few years. My appliance guy refuses to work on them anymore.

Get a Whirlpool or KitchenAid, they are repairable at least.

Agree with this. We were in a situation where this kept happening. We moved the fridge to a non GFCI circuit and haven't had a problem since.

Just replaced a GFCI and had two bad ones in a row, different brands from different stores. Third time lucky... :)
