Default Why do these GFCI receptacles trip?
In article ,
says...

Don't use them on washing machines, dryers or refrigerators.




Ground faults are not used on things that must run such as refrigerators
and freezers. If they trip for some reason you can loose all your
stored food. I think there is a code that covers that.
