Check the nameplate on the fridge. If the wattage in not listed look for the voltage and amperage that is listed. The formula for wattage is amps times volts. This will give you the answer that you are looking for.

How much electricity does your 120v 60 Hz 1.4A mini fridge use?

120 Volts multiplied by 1.4 Amps equals 168 Watts. This may be steady state current though so allow more for startup. Also the fridge probably does not have the pump running all of the time so figure the 'on' time compared to the 'off' time for a true average.


How much KW for Fridge?

About 0.1 kW for a kitchen fridge.


How much watts does a refrigerator use each month?

The average refrigerator uses between 100-200 watts. To calculate monthly energy usage, multiply the wattage by the number of hours the refrigerator runs per day, then multiply by the number of days in the month.


Can you use a low energy G9 40W bulb in a light fitting that states a maximum of 25W G9 normal halogen bulb?

The heat dissipation is what the fixture is rated for. They are saying maximum heat of 25 watts so 40 watts is going to be too much.


How many kW is a refrigerator?

This is a difficult question to answer its kind of like asking how much petrol a car uses- any car. The factors that will make a difference include how full is it, how often it is opened, how hot the place is where it is and how efficient the fridge is and how low the temperature is set. I can give you a ball park figure for a modern fridge freezer operated in the UK. First of all most of the time it uses 0 watts of power. Only when the pump is running or the door is opened (the light) does it use power. I ran a plugin meter on mine which showed motor/pump running 100 watts door open 12 watts both motor and light on 112watts The pump on mine was running for no more than 5 minutes an hour and with this being such a rough calculation we can ignore the light. so 100 watts for 5minutes an hour means it runs for 24 x5 minutes a day 120minutes or 2 hours 100 watts for 1 hour is 0.1kwh so per day 0.2kwh or 1kwh every 5 days. 365 days in a year divide by 5= 73 kwh per year approximately. It could be less than that. now lets suppose it uses a 200 watt motor and runs for 10 minutes that would be 292 Kwh a year 4x as much roughly £14 - £58 that's a reasonably worth while saving. Your best saving is to adjust the thermostat to a setting which keeps your fridge as cold as needed and no more and leave some space at the back of the fridge so the air can circulate. If your fridge pump is running more often than not its time to get a new fridge.

Will a 60 watt solar power system run a 27 Kilo Watt fridge?

Definitely not, it is much too small because 27 kilowatts is 27,000 watts.

How much current does a fridge use?

My side-by-side fridge, which is about 8 years old, uses 70 watts on average. When the compressor is actually on, it draws about 200 watts after an initial spike of ~400 watts. The fridge draws 5 watts when idle.
