Low volts

I'm thinking it is a loose connection. Check all spliced connections by tugging on each conductor, check the connection at the breaker and neutral bus for tightness and make sure the connection is not clamping down on the insulation.

Have you tried the fridge in a known good outlet? If so, and it works OK, then try plugging in the frdge in the other new outlet & see what happens. If you're still dropping down to very low volts, measure the voltage at the spliced connection and at the breaker.
