Bud.. That fridge is a beauty! I just got lucky. I googled "Philco refrigerator date code" and there it was. That doesn't happen very often for me. Glad I could help. Bill | ||

Average Run Time Of A Refrigerator
In a 70 degree home with normal usage is about 50% or 12 hours a day, but keep in mind it is not likely drawing 2.8 amps the whole time it is running, it is more likely drawing a little less than 200 watts.
It is likely to cost anywhere from 25-50 cents a day to operate depending on many variables. If interested plug it in to a Kilo-Watt-Watcher when you get it running and track its power consumption for a year. Since this is a manual defrost ref it is probably about the same power consumption as a new 25 CF ref with all the bells and whistles. John L. | ||
