outlet for dishwasher and fridge
Can I run my refridgerator and dishwasher off the same outlet? Nothing else is on this line. It was supposed to be dedicated to the dishwasher, but I would also like to use it for the fridge if possible.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Might not be a good idea. If the dishwasher and fridge both happen to kick on at the same time it may trip the breaker.

I believe permenant appliances are suppose to be on their own dedicated circuits. Every dishwasher install I've seen has it's own line. I have seen fridges sharing circuits though.

The answer to your question is probably not. In any case it is not a good idea. Kitchens are extremely regulated, with strict limits on what receptacles can be on shared circuits and where receptacles can be placed. For example, a circuit that serves the counter top cannot serve the dishwasher or the disposal.
