Propane use February 08, 2015, 10:31:35 am Yahoo Message Number: 150869I was organizing files and came across a post that I'd made quite a while ago. The "How much propane does the refrigerator use?" topic is of general interest, so I'm re-posting the information."There was a "how much propane does the refrigerator use" question on another forum a couple of days ago; one answer (from an RV tech) was, "so *if* the burner was running full time, you would burn about 1 pound per 14.5 hours."I checked this response with Al Cohoe, chair of the RV Tech program at Okanagan College; his comments: "His answer is close - it will actually use considerably less than he is mentioning. That is based on use while the actual burner is fired up. The burner will only be on when it is asking for more cold. The higher the setting the more hours per day it would run, as well as the more warm food placed inside, etc."Joan

I did not test to see how much 110 electric the frig pulls in 110 mode. But it does pull .9 amps when running and .2 amps in stand by when in 12 volt propane state. That was tested with a multi-meter.GeorgeRetired Plumber.
