What can change the result
- The EnergyGuide annual kWh is based on standardized test conditions.
- The refrigerator remains in service for the full year.
- Temperature, door openings, room conditions, age, maintenance, and optional features can change actual use.
For the most useful estimate, use measurements from a plug-in energy monitor, connected charger, vehicle dashboard, or product energy label whenever available.
