One published estimate said that 7% of America's residential electricity goes into refrigerators. Kitchenaid says that their 25 cu. ft. model uses 612KWhr per year. The US nationwide average electricity usage is 11,000 KWhr, so the nice big Kitchenaid would take about 5.5% of the home's power usage.

Usually it's when it has to cool more and more because the temperature inside is not at the desired temperature, and it senses this and uses more energy to cool it down. That's why your mom always said not to keep the door open.
