Sockets are not for permanently used appliances. They are to be plugged in and out. Permanently wired in appliance need to be hard wired. And that in theory includes a 24/7/365 fridge.
Why not? Sockets are for any appliance regardless of how often it needs to be connected/disconnected.
This is especially true in domestic installations where small appliances, white goods, etc will often be connected/disconnected by untrained or unskilled people.
