First off, make sure the circuit ground to the fridge is good. Then check the relay. in the 110V world, it should -not- be making a surge like that. If it's making radio interference, you might want to check that the relay case is properly grounded, and possibly replace the relay.
All that said, how old is this fridge? If it's more than ten years old, it makes a lot of sense to replace it with a new model. If you get an energy efficient one, it'll pay for itself in electricity in a couple of years. In the US, we have a program called "EnergyStar" that makes it easy to spot the efficient ones. Even without the program, I'm pretty sure that a lot of UK fridges are tested for energy usage. BTW, beware LG energy ratings - they've figured out how to cheat on the energy tests. If the circuit's good and you can't move to a different one, Mynb's suggestions are spot-on. If you weren't renting I'd suggest putting the suppression on the fridge circuit, but where it connects to the breaker box. Failing that, I'd put the suppressor into an electrical box with a receptacle and plug and put that in series between the fridge and the wall. -- bobkoure ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bobkoure's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=14646 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=75596 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
