Default load calc.
Using standard calculation for a residential single family dwelling would you consider a frig as a fixed appliance. on a calc I was doing i had 4 fixed appliances other than the frig. For example, 2 dishwashers,1 garbage disposal,and one instant hot. I know you are allowed a 75%demand factor on 4 or more appliances so would you include the frig or omit it.

Only if it was actually "fixed in place", i.e. a built-in, fastened in place fridge. I don't see that a standard fridge is fixed.
