It is something like general information. But at least there is a information for us to know. The only way to check accurate consumption is like what you do. Use a kill a watt meter. As you know each household have his own habit to use fridge. So no way the manufacturing can measure it.

Another about accurate guide is those fridge really save, have 5star rating and state annual consumption. But it still subject to some standard guideline testing. That maybe very much different from your pattern of using.

I guess your fridge at least over 10yrs. It is quite high consumption per liter. The only way you can do is change. It is an old mechanism problem. Just like my 1. Over 16yrs, 292liter. Check with kill a watt meter - 13kwh/day, 56.6kwh/mth, RM1.86/day.

I m looking for a new fridge now.

Than you have to look for a way to cut down the consumption. Check what wrong first. If you don't find the problem, a good new fridge won't save you either.

Thanks for the link.

It is same principal and usage as aircon. But the saving amount is vary but still there.

I m looking for inverter fridge too. And I lock down the choice criteria must be inverter. Nothing else. I m welcome any new technology that improve. Others consider is, size, type of seal, type of door, compartment arrangement and consumption per liter.

I really don't no. As you know, fridge actual consumption only can be measure by actual usage. My habit of usage is different from your habit usage too. Unless somebody have a experience to tell.

Take Quanta fridge consumption as an example. His usage is 2.2kwh for a 291liter. If he want to get a new fridge, he either get a fridge same liter but less than 2.2kwh consumption. Or same consumption but bigger than 291liter. From here you can see he have a guideline what fridge to looking at.

I recently went to HN at check some fridge spec. Some new technology inverter fridge have very low consumption per liter. I m eyeing on this fridge.

Would it be the high usage? 1 day open/close many time? Can you hear the compressor running frequently? The freezer side have thick ice or dry cool? Draining water always? Setting freezer and fridge too high?

Maybe got ghost.

You can try to isolated the problem. Plug your fridge to another wall socket. If same problem, than the fridge side is something wrong.

Set all the dial to minimum. Check with the kill a watt meter. Compare the low/medium setting consumption. Since no frost in the freezer side, that mean the seal is ok.

The drainage tray usually don't have water. It is only for defrost usage. I never see any water in the tray for whole yrs or many yrs.

Thanks. The capacity is depend on my wife. Buy usually they want big 1. Give them house size fridge also not enough. Throw all the rubbish inside.

My idea fridge is French door, compact yet big capacity, Multi compartment, save energy the most.

Hitachi is 1 of the best. Eying at the multi compartment type.

1.2amp with 700liter is already very good saving fridge. So what consumption perday?

Some new fridge can go as low as 0.8amp for 700liter.

Not really 2door series is consume less. If it smaller capacity, it can be consume less. But not big capacity.

I found out the logic that big capacity with 2 door will consume more even if it state there save. For 2 door big capacity, the opening door is very big. Cool air is heavy. It will lost very fast everytime you open the door. So it doesn't save in the way of usage. If it separate out into smaller door like French door and multi compartment, you only open the door that you need. That less cool air travel out and loss. Big door require bigger front space to open too.

Side by side door fridge is a waste space fridge for me. The middle separate is add up the total wide size. It end up, the fridge look wide from the outside, but thin and long inside. Even it state 700l or 600l, but it doesn't look have big compartment inside. Not sure you can place a big birthday cake or a cooking ware inside.

Tell me more.

What fridge having in your mind now?

See sharp fridge for what? I need more information what he find that probably disagree about side by side fridge.

Don't want so big lah. Wife like only. I don't like.

Is this Samsung joking? What farking reason is that?

Should I avoid that model? Or the Hitachi brand?

Is this normal? Have you check with the SC?

Or maybe your house still empty that the surrounding wall echo the noise louder.

Side and top of the fridge hot is normal. It is because the condenser now is built into the fridge body. Have you notice that very old fridge have a black coil like mess behind? And the new fridge no more this. That is the condenser. Same function as the aircon outside unit. Dissipate heat.

Heat from below?

Below is a drainage pan for most of the fridge. And behind below is the compressor which certainly have heat. Don't use hand to touch the compressor. It run very hot.

Not like sauna lah. Your kitchen is open and still got airflow from outside. But definitely hotter than others area. My fridge right side is empty space. Can see the compressor everything. Can feel the heat too.

Plastic also can change shape. Sure got problem liau.

My Panasonic NR-b29t running 1.86kwh/day.(round it up 2kwh/day). With 730kwh/yrs, I probably can get a 600-700liter size fridge. Which is still can be lower down the consumption of my current fridge. Hunting, hunting.....

I never consider Korea brand at all. Kpop doesn't effect me. But I love their girl.

But LG have a impressive linear inverter compressor. Different from all the brand fridge. But just don't like the side by side type. So LG out.
