Umm, no, they do NOT do that "sometimes" if everything
is installed correctly. Sorry, don't mean to sound
confrontational, but a GFCI tripping is an indication
that something went wrong whether it was water or
whatever that caused it to trip. They don't "just do
that" for no reason. They would be useless in such a
case.


Sorry to burst this bubble, but GFCIs can trip for what *appears*
to be "no reason", and this is why codes never make them manditory
for outlets used for refrigerators.


The 2005 NEC requires GFCIs on 15 & 20 amp outlets in "commercial
kitchens". This appears to include refrigerators. (Electricians in a
code refresher class thought it was a dumb idea.)
