I also thought I saw posts on electric monitors previously but have been unsuccessful in searching for the old threads on this site.

Any help you can provide is appreciated.
Home depot has a device you can plug into the outlet then plug the fridge into it. It will show how much power the fridge is drawing and will show how many kilowatt hours it uses. leave it plugged in a month and it shows total kilowatt hours per month. only about $35.00
