[C320-list] Refrig

[Jeff Hare]

Ah, ok.  That's the max draw assuming the compressor and fan were both working at their maximum load (ie motors running while loaded up to the rated HP output).  That's unlikely to be what they actually draw in real life.  To know for sure what yours draws, you'd have to measure it.  And also measure the cycle on/off times to get an idea of the AH consumed at this temp over 24hr period.  

For me it's pretty easy to shut everything off and start up the fridge and watch the amp gauge to how much it draws.

The compressor draws 5amp and the fan draws 1amp. At least that ’s what the plate says. It’s a 1998 and they’ve been getting progressively better.
