<div dir="ltr">Aha! Great info Kirpal...thank you.<div>I *almost* mentioned when you first posted, but didn't and should have.,..a client's brand new fridge would not run AT ALL from a GFCI outlet.....the tricky thing was that it was a downstream GFCI branch.</div>
<div>Way at the back of the fridge owners manual......it said quite clearly that it cannot be used on a GFCI outlet or branch, and must have its own non-GFCI circuit.</div><div>Glad you found the problem.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra">

<div dir="ltr">Folks!!! Thanks for all the ideas and suggestions regarding the flickering LED lights...I think we have found the culprits....although I don't have a good understanding as to why...I am sure you could shed some (non flickering) light on the subject so that i might understand why more clearly..<div>
The main culprit causing the flickering was the fridge compressor.....the fridge was plugged into a GFI outlet....when plugged into a non GFI outlet the problem vanished!! It turns out that the other loads that caused this flickering were also plugged into GFI outlets and when plugged into standard non GFI outlets caused no flickering.....The flickering remained steady as long as the load was operating....not just on start up.....</div>
<div>The dimmer switches did not seem to affect the flickering by them selves....</div><div>Problem solved- but my understanding is lacking....</div><div>Thank you!!!</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra">
