Does a refrigerator consume electricity?

Refrigerator power consumption mainly depends on the brand of refrigerator, capacity size, outside temperature, the temperature regulation of the machine, the frequency of opening the door, refrigerant and so on.

Generally the first level of energy-saving ordinary refrigerator normal use of a day may be 0.5-0.6 degrees, the second level of energy-saving refrigerator may have to 0.7-0.8 degrees. In different seasons, the power consumption of the refrigerator is not the same, in the summer surroundings of the high temperature, the refrigerator compressor working time is very long, the frequency of operation is also higher, the refrigerator's power consumption is also relatively high.

The refrigerator is to maintain a constant low temperature of a refrigeration equipment, but also a kind of food or other items to maintain a constant low temperature state of civilian products. Box body has a compressor, ice machine for ice cabinet or box, with refrigeration device storage box, household refrigerator volume is usually 20-500 liters.

Methods to reduce refrigerator power consumption

1, keep clean

About every three months, clean the back of the refrigerator cooling tube, and use a thin duster or brush to clean the floor under the refrigerator, when the refrigerator breathes easier, it will consume less energy.

2. Combine refrigerators in use

If you have both a refrigerator and a freezer at home, try to combine the two into one.

3, check and adjust the temperature settings

Particularly in the freezer, do not set too low, the dashboard data is not credible, use a thermometer to check the actual temperature, and then change the settings according to the data. For domestic refrigeration, 4°C for refrigeration and -15°C for freezing are safe enough.

4. Check the seals

Rubber gaskets around fridge and freezer doors keep cold air in, so it's worth replacing the gaskets if you feel cold air leaking.
