How many hours does a typical refrigerator stay on?

It depends COMPLETELY on the temperature (and humidity to a lesser extent) outside the refrigerator. If the ambient temp is below - say 40 degrees - the inside temp of the refrigerator, then it need not be on at all. If its hot enough than it won't be able to stay cool inside even if it runs continually.


Sometimes you hear someone say that a particular appliance uses up electricity What is it that the appliance actually uses up and what becomes of it?

An electric device does not "use up" electricity, but rather energy. And strictly speaking, it doesn't "use up" energy, but transforms it from one form to another. It is common to say that energy is used up when it is transformed to less concentrated forms--when it is degraded. Electrical energy ultimately becomes heat energy. In this sense it is used up. ------ I have a washing machine - I think it's a typical appliance - it uses electricity and water. But it does not "use up" any electricity or water - there is always more. Same for all of our other appliances. The clothes washer (above), dryer (gas and electricity), dish washer (water and electricity), microwave (only electricity). Popcorn maker (only electricity), toaster (only electricity), refrigerator (only electricity). Really, what these appliances "use up" is counter or floor space, especially the big ones.
