Hello,
my problem is that every time my fridge stops, the image on my TV flickers for a very brief moment.
However, previously, it went into standby mode. I had to unplug it to restart it.
Also, my other TV has gone into standby mode by itself twice. I've been told that this is a safety measure for under-voltage to prevent damaging the TV.
I've been having these issues since I moved into an old house, but the electrical installation is only 3 years old.
I also want to mention that since April, I've lost my free WiFi CPL boxes, a power supply, a PC hard drive, a USB key, and a wireless optical mouse. I don't believe in coincidence!!!!!! Because nothing happened during 9 years in my previous apartment.
Is it possible that my fridge couldn't handle the move because there was no clicking sound when it stopped before? Additionally, I bought the most expensive anti-surge plugs from Casto for my home cinema. Etc.........
My fridge is a Bosch double motor that's 10 years old.
Is it dead because I plugged it into the nearby socket in the kitchen, and it was the same!! Even worse.
Apparently, I called one of the two best brands of UPS systems, and they told me that their UPS systems are designed for PCs, not for hi-fi equipment because it's too sensitive. Otherwise, over 500 euros. What should I do? Thank you.
I also want to mention that a friend who is an electrician lent me a block that plugs into a socket and records voltage levels in its flash memory, and he saw under-voltage below EDF's limit. For instance, I think EDF's minimum is 209 volts and he recorded 207 for a brief moment.
Also, I had EDF come by, but they didn't find anything, except that they can lend me the same device for 300 euros if they don't find anything.

Hi, I think it's coming from your fridge. Check if there are any condensers at the bottom left of your compressor; they are electrical components that help filter out interference to prevent sending any noise to the nearby electrical devices.

Before I go check the capacitors, I just wanted to know, because there are no parasites on my TV when I watch DVDs or play on the console, only when I'm watching channels. Does a shielded filter exist for the antenna because I have a 4-way antenna splitter I bought at Casto? Thank you.
PS: I have the impression that it's happening with my 2 fridges!!!!!!!
They are both 2 to 3 meters away from the TV and not in the same spot. -
