Stop. Don't.

All it takes is one nuisance trip, and you have an entire refrigerator full of
spoiled food.

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.


Uh-oh.

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?


Hire a pro. You're in over your head.
