Just having extra outlets though would not help with that much if more than 1 or 2 appliances were drawing that much load and did not have their own breaker. The standard 15-20 amp breaker powering all or most of the copious outlets can still be overdrawn if the occupant plugs in too much kitchen stuff. It is my understanding that usually the refrigerator has its own breaker, but the rest of the appliances are on a common circuit.<p>Edit to add - just checked my breaker box. It looks like the disposal and the dish washer each have a 20 amp breaker and the rest of the kitchen is on a 3rd 20 amp breaker, presumably along with the refrigerator. It&#x27;s an old house though, CA code is probably pretty strict on the breakers.
