larry the only time you could measure that much power is compressor startup
not even the defrost heating element in the door draws that much power
it would melt the plastic in the fridge
I stand by my numbers. A 1/2 hp, 1ph motor is rated to draw 9.8 amps at 115 vac. My compressor is a 1/2 hp and draws 9 amps while running. I don't see a conflict there. Perhaps you can clarify for me? The current I read with my ampprobe was just the motor, not the defrost heater which draws significantly less current.
Thanks
