How many kilowatts does your refrigerator use a day?

Answer 1

120 to 160 watts
between 265 and 540. It is 265 to 540 because if your refrigerator is No Frost then it has internally equiped heater which melts Ice and that heater consume 200W extra electric power. Hence we can say that the Direct Cool Refrigerators uses less electricity than No frost Refrigerators.

If you want to calculate the wattage of complete house, you may go on this website and enter the appliances which you have and it will give you the both Rated Wattage and Surge Wattage.

Answer 2

It really depends on the size, age, type, brand, etc.

But typically, year 2009 refrigerators use between 450-600 kWh/year (and some go well over 700 kWh/year). Larger fridges tend to use more electricity, but some brands are better than others.

Try to get an EnergyStar appliance and you should be able get a large 28 cubic fridge that uses around 550 kWh/year which should equal under $60 a year to operate (depending on your electricity costs), which isn't too bad.

There are also compact mini fridges and extra large built-ins that could vary in electricity, so it's best to just look up the fridge you are interested in knowing about and check out their website (or the Specs on a store's website). That should tell you how much electricity it uses.

Answer 3

A refrigerator doesn't "use" kilowatts. A kilowatt is a measure of its power, and is the rate at which the refrigerator uses energy. The power rating of your refrigerator will be found on its nameplate, together with its rated voltage. If you want to know how much energy, in kilowatt hours, it uses during the day, this would be difficult because the refrigerator doesn't run continuously at its rated power -it switches itself on and off to maintain the set temperature. If you want to work out the 'worst case scenario', then multiply its rated power, in kilowatts, and multiply this by 24 (the number of hours in a day) -this will tell you the number of kilowatt hours of energy used if the fridge never turned itself off!

Answer 4

it depends on what kind of refrigerator you have

Mine uses 500 watts, but only for about two minutes each hour.

There are normally at least 115 watts per fridge.
