What if the outlet serving the refrigerator is above the counter space?

Hi to all,
Bob, yes you have a point that I should have included, this only applies to a single receptacle dedicated outlet.

Jerry I was not trying to bust on you, it was a week of good electrical question keep up the good work.
I just wanted to make people think on this, there is no specific exception for refrigerators not to be on a GFCI in a kitchen.
It is all about the placement of the outlet not what it serves.
(In dwelling unit kitchens anyway

Another common misconception is that singular receptacle outlets are automatically exempt from GFCI protection, regardless of location. They are not. This exception only applies to unfinished basements and garages, nowhere else.
There are no exceptions for kitchen countertop receptacles, as Bob pointed out. The only way to make them non-GFCI is place them so they do not satisfy the countertop. 
Good questions Gerry.

If it was in a 'garage' (countertop). Could I install a single recpt.(non-GFCI protected) ?
Think gas cooktop. 
I could be and am ususally wrong.

Sure Mike, if it met all of the criteria for the exception.
