Is it acceptable to install a refrigerator in the dining room even if the circuit is not one of the required small appliance circuits? It is my belief that 210.23 (A) (1) would govern here.
If you ran a 20 amp cir. or plugged into the SABC in the dining room there would be no issue.
Why would this be an NEC issue? I don't think there is anything stopping an owner from plugging in anything they want - anywhere they want.Is it acceptable to install a refrigerator in the dining room even if the circuit is not one of the required small appliance circuits?

Comment: Since the 2008 NEC requires AFCI's nearly everywhere but the kitchen, you can't put a kitchen SABC ckt in the dining room.
My understanding is that you now need another dedicated AFCI circuit for the dining room instead of extending one or both of the kitchen SABC's to the dining room.
Did I interpret this correctly?

The above suggestions are of, but . . .
I am NOT a fan of AFCI's to begin with. I just can't see putting kitchen equipment on the @#$%^&* things.
