Not sure how easy it will be to get a new one and have it look as nice
in the kitchen.... I'm gonna confirm what is causing the large draw
though first.

Thank you to everyone who replied to my post! All of your answers are
very much appreciated!!

If it is the fridge, do or get some maintenance, clean coils, etc.
Might help.


And check/adjust the thermostat too. Maybe it's just set to
the coldest possible setting.

And, since you mention it's wrapped in cabinetry, I'm
wondering if the fridge has sufficient ventilation. If
it's totally enclosed with no place for the heat to go,
you're gonna have large bills and short life on the
fridge.
