chest freezer energy usage

strider3700 · 10-03-11, 02:05 AM

Has anyone done measurements on their chest freezers? I have a medium sized one that is quite old. Lately it's been feeling hot on the outside near the compressor so I hooked up the Kilawatt to see whats going on. So far it's used .7 kwh in 15 hours. I'll let it run for a week at least to see what it averages out to but that seems pretty high in my mind. Does anyone else have readings I can compare to?
