My Whirlpool fridge model ET22DK keeps tripping the breaker. The outlet is not a ground fault circuit interrupter. It was working fine for years, but this issue has been ongoing for the past month. I've tried different outlets, but the breaker keeps tripping. The fridge is currently outside, and the ambient temperature is 50 degrees. The compressor and fans are running, and the light works, but the lines from the compressor are neither hot nor cold. The freezer is getting cold, but the fridge trips the breaker at 72 degrees outside and not at 50 degrees. What could be causing this issue?
