I agree. My current main refregerator (25 cu ft) is on a 15A circuit
that is shared with some lights and rangehood. It never tripped the
circuit breaker.

However, browsing the net, and you see specifications like:

and maximum amps is 20.
I was wondering if the newer refregerators requires larger circuit.
