Failure. Most new fridges run 150-200watts, triple that at most during compressor startup for the higher amperage draw. Shoot even that 40 year old freezer I got rid of only ran at 275-300w.

You should read up on how circuit breakers work. They trip on either an extremely high spike, or a really long small overage. 30a on a 20a circuit will take quite a while to trip the breaker.
