TIL a $20 surge protector can kill a $400 fridge, but not the way you think
Last month in Tucson my new fridge started tripping the breaker every time the compressor kicked on. Took me 5 days and two electrician visits before we found the surge protector I'd plugged it into was wired wrong from the factory, the neutral and ground were swapped. Has anyone else had a so-called 'new' accessory cause more damage than the thing it was supposed to protect?

wired wrong from the factory" sounds like a fluke, not a pattern.
