In a kitchen, by current code all counter outlets are required to be GFCI
protected. Do not install a GFCI for the fridge. Whatever wires you find on
the existing outlet: i.e. two whites, one red, and green, Connect green to
ground, connect red to "line hot" which should be a brass screw, and splice
both whites together with a third white wire,(a pigtail) which you connect
to the "line neutral" You are going to have different sets of wires at each
outlet, but follow this same procedure. If you find two black wires on an
existing outlet, connect them to the new GFCI with a pigtail as well.

I'm starting to install GFCI outlets in this house I just bought. I'm
starting with the circuit where the fridge would be. From what I can tell
right now, the fridge is on its own circuit, but I haven't verified every
single outlet; just ones on the same part of wall on both sides of the
wall. The problem is that I have 4 wires total, one green (ground), one
red, and two white wires.

I'm not sure at all how to wire this up. The old outlet had green to
ground, red on the top left, white #1 on the top right, and white #2 on
the bottom right. How would I wire this for a GFCI outlet?
