Feels floppy. Do breakers just fail for no articular reason? The load
(refrig is the main load) works OK on a different outlet. Planning on
buying a new breaker and installing it if I can figure out how.


Not common but does happen. Breakers are pretty simple to change. Most
pop out and then the new one in place, perhaps one screw on the buss.
Post the brand and someone may know exactly.
