Our Whirlpool refrigerator electric usage

March 02, 2012, 10:02:28 am

Our Whirlpool fridge is always plugged into a Kill-O-Watt meter and we find the usage consistent over time. Here are three different readings:

Over 34 days (824 hours) it used 23.93 KwH which is 29 watts average/hour using 2.3 average amps/hour of 12.6 volt battery.

Over 60 days (1,445 hours) it used 39.06 KwH which is 27 watts average/hour using 2.1 average amps/hour of 12.6 volt battery.

Over 119 days (2,852 hours) it used 74.68 KwH which is 26 watts average/hour using 2.1 average amps/hour of 12.6 volt battery.

We have had our new fridge purchased from Lowe's for about a year and it is one of the best improvements we have made to our coach.
More cold, more ice, more space, no defrost, no problems. Food stays longer, too.

Thanks for that info. Will help me get a handle on energy usage when I roll out of here in a few weeks.
