But does it have to be a *dedicated* circuit? Only one appliance per

that a refrigerator has to be on a GFCI-protected circuit, can the
kitchen refrigerator, the bar refrigerator, and the freezer in the
garage all be on that same GFCI-protected circuit?

That does not sound like a smart combination. I hope you just used that
as an example. Garage circuits are on a GFCI anyway. Refrigerators and
freezers should be as isolated as possible from a practical point, but
if I had them on a circuit easily tripped, I'd want a night lite or
something that would let me know the circuit is out.

I cannot imagine having to pull out a fridge to reset the GFCI tripped
by some other source such as a power surge.

Why "pull out" a fridge? I'm talking about a common circuit protected by
a GFCI *breaker*, not a GFCI outlet *behind* the freezer or fridge.

Are you suggested that every refrigerator and freezer should be on its
own circuit?
