I'm putting a GFCI in a bathroom. Ideally I would use the load terminals and
protect the other outlets downstream too. Unfortunately down line from the
GFCI is a refrigerator. I don't want the fridge on a GFCI circuit because
they occaisionally phantom trip and I don't want a bunch of spoiled food.
The GFCI has 4 terminals for Line, 2 neutral and 2 hot and 4 terminals for
load 2 neutral and 2 hot. Is there any reason including the NEC that the
load wires cannot just be wired to the extra line terminals to bypass the
GFCI and allow power to the fridge even if the GFCI trips? Yes I understand
none of the outlets after the GFCI will be protected as they would be if
they were wired to "load", and I will take care of that when I add GFCI to
the kitchenette where the fridge is in whatever way will work best depending
on exactly where, electrically speaking, in the daisy chain the fridge
outlet is. The GFCI is one of the idiot proof ones that comes tripped and
supposedly won't reset until it's correctly wired. Testing it out it works
fine wired this way as far as the test and reset buttons on it go. Is there
any practical reason, including the NEC, not to do it this way? I
appreciate good responses but please don't answer if you don't know anything
about wiring or are wondering what NEC, load or line means.

Thanks.
