The field electricity use of 209 refrigerators was compared to their labelled consumption. The mean field use of all units was 1009 kWh/year, 882 kWh/year for top-freezers, and 1366 kWh/year for side-by-sides. There was considerable scatter in the results but, in general, the label overpredicted field use. A formula was developed to relate annual field use to annual label use. No simple relationship was found between the label value and the peak-week consumption.
KEYWORDS: refrigerators, energy consumption, domestic, measuring, experiment, calculating, electricity consumption, USA, performance, comparing.
