GFI questions

[ronmarabito2002]

Other than worrying about a replacement refrigerator. Look at the
simple and obvious things first. Check you 110V breakers to see if
they are thrown. If you had GFI trouble, then it could have
affected the breakers. This also could have kicked off the master
gas solenoid. Check to see if you have gas at the range top unless
you know where your master solenoid is and can check it.
