Wanted to give you guys an update.

The breaker is Arc - i didnt look close enough. In the old days, the older Arc's (that I was used to) had a yellow button. The newer GE's that are in there now have a black reset so at first glance from afar, I thought it was non-arc.

Electrician buddy of mine said Arc's can be more sensitive to generators kicking on. He said to try a non-arc. Swapped it out and we have had some bounces in power since yesterday and it never tripped.

You guys were right and it was a simple as a breaker going bad.

Thanks for the help!

Is it a 15 or 20 amp breaker?

20 amp. Also the fridge is only 4 years old and it has never tripped a breaker. As mentioned, it has never tripped until recently and it only tripped when the generator kicked on.

Halliburton - from my understanding, the "smart load manager" is programmed to load shed the high draw items like HVAC, oven, electric drier, etc. You can flip the breaker while under Generator power and it works perfectly - even when the generator switches back to utility power.

Sure sounds like the breaker based on what others have suggested.

Thanks again for the replies folks!

5 year old house. Whole Home Generator for last 4 years and have experienced multiple short term (minutes) and long term (2-3 days) power failures. Within the last 2 weeks, we have had one outage that lasted 4 hours and one that lasted 5 minutes. Both times, a breaker would trip for a specific room. No big deal but that room has a refrigerator in it. Never has happened before (4 years and many outages). Appears to only trip when auto transfer switches to Generator. Does not trip when it switches back to regular power. No other breakers in the house are being tripped.

Only items on the breaker are fridge, router, Sonos, and a printer.

Any guidance would be appreciated!

New house built 5 years ago. In the courtyard area, the Landscape Architect did some hard scaping (slate pavers) coming off the slate patio with Zoysia in between. Looks nice but as things have grown it does not get the best sunlight so looks like crap in the winter and takes a while to look decent in the spring. Plus, you have to cut it with a weed eater because the mower and wheels to do not allow for a good even cut (the mower wheel rest on the stepping stones).

I was thinking of killing off the Zoysia and replacing with Dwarf Mondo. I need something that stays low to the ground and does not spread into the surrounding beds.

Pros/Cons of Dwarf Mondo?

Any recommendations other than Dwarf Mondo?

Coming up with an average age is complete BS. There are way too many factors involved.

Own a business?
Job that ebbs and flows with the economy?
Health issues?
Have kids?
Kids have issues?
Spouse with serious illness?
Parents that require assistance?
Layed off?
AI may be taking your job?
And so on and so on....

Just make sure you have a hydrostatic valve on your pool.

If you must, lease one for 2-3 years and do not buy. Get rid of it before the warranty runs out.

3M Command Picture Hangers have 15 and 20lb capacity. That is what I would consider. I have had good luck with them and they get very good reviews.

Slight but related thread jack....

I get an annual physical, and my doctor has never suggested I get a Tetanus shot yet the google machine says to get one every 10 years.

Do you guys get a Tetanus shot every 10 years?

I used to do a 1 to 1 oil/flour ratio of 96 ounces of stock. Over the years, I have increased that ratio to 1 to 1.75 or 2 (i.e.. 1 cup of oil to 1.75/2 of flour).

At 1 gallon of stock, I would use 1.25 oil to 2.5/3cups of flour.

Given that, I wonder if a shoe repair place like Darensbourg or Militello's would do it? They deal with leather and stitching and laces with shoes/ purses, etc. all day long.
