In the meantime, you can unplug the refrigerator from its "dedicated socket" and use an extension cord to plug it into a "known good outlet" to verify that the refrigerator is operational. It may be that something is shorted out in the refrigerator causing the outlet to keep blowing the circuit breaker. If that's the situation, then you'll need to troubleshoot the refrigerator, not the outlet it's plugged into.
To troubleshoot the refrigerator outlet, if you don't have a voltmeter, you can use a lamp or a drop light, plug that into the outlet and locate the circuit breaker that supplies power. Often a circuit breaker will open and "appear to be in the normal position".. So, turn all the breakers off, then back on to make sure they are all reset. Then, if you don't have power to the refrigerator outlet, start looking for that GFCI to reset.
Good luck and let us know what you find.
