Current Draw Of Residential Refrigerator ?
We live full time in a travel trailer with 30 amp service. All our 120 volt service seems to be wired on two breakers. Two years ago the breakers started tripping frequently. We traced it down to t...

The compressor draw very little power around 2-3 AMPS but the Auto-defrost will pull up to 500 to 700 watts average. You might want to run a cord out to a separate plug on the pedestal for the fridge if possible. I would buy a Kill-a-watt meter and check each item on your outlets. You'd be surprised how quick thing add up. I have a electronic voltmeter plug in the kitchen outlet since it's easy to see. I try to keep the voltage about 110 at all times. The park we're in now has poor voltage and we can only run a few things at a time before it drops down below 110. Voltage is a little more critical on a rig with a built in generator system which I found out last week when the Transfer switch burned out!!
