2600RB 120V circuits not optimal
In checking my 2 day old 2600RB (manufactured April 4th, 2019) I found that the breaker marked Refrigerator feeds a blue cable that goes to the fridge outlet and then on to the GFI at the sink and then every other outlet except the one behind the recliners. The second breaker marked general, powers the only outlet behind the recliners (black cable). I called GD CSR and they told me that it was designed this way. Makes no sense to me to put the Ref. on the same circuit as every other outlet that you might plug something into. Why would they not put the Ref and the recliners on one and all of the other outlets on the the other? No change to GFI protection and better balanced load distribution.
What am I missing?

Well, I dug a bit more. While the manual talks about the Ref. drawing 600W this one seems to be around 240W making it much less of an issue. The TV was also on breaker 2. I would still prefer to have the ref on a different circuit though.

This is common , but does not make it right. Ours is wired kind of like this as well and if I can get some time someday I will look at trying to isolate the fridge as I would like it to be on its own circuit as well.
Not sure if it will be doable but I will at least try it.
