Best Answer

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.
