    Fridge wiring

    What breaker is everyone’s couches wired into? Ours is wired into the fridge/tv breaker. Seems like the fridge should be on its own dedicated breaker.

    Wiring and to which breaker is highly variable depending on who was wiring your model on the line that day. GD does not use true schematics - only general block diagrams - and the assemblers take a lot of "poetic license." If you're not having breakers trip, I wouldn't worry about it.

    Thanks for the reply. Yeah I agree. It just crazy to wire the fridge, tv, and heated chairs on the same breaker. Definitely not the way I would have wired it.

    Realistically, this is not a very big issue because, the heated seats are not heated with 120v electricity. They are heated with DC power supplied by a power block similar to one you might find on a laptop PC. While the power block(s) is powered with 120v AC, the power blocks step down the power to (probably 24 volts) dc power that drives the seats and heating element. Therefore, the only really heavy load on the circuit is the 120V refrigerator element.
