Checked a rating plate on a refrigerator lately?

Yup. Good ones use less than 1 kWh/day.

That's not a nameplate rating and it's utterly meaningless. The
refrigerator could draw 1 KW if it had a total run time of an hour a
day.

The defrost cycle on a refrigerator doesn't last long, but it draws a
substantial amount of power for the heating element.
