Default duty cycle of fridge?

Same with my 20 year old fridge.

I guessed it was costing a fortune in power and was
getting ready to select a replacement when I decided
to stick a Kill A Watt on the thing for 24 hours. I
don't recall the exact number but the consumption was
insignificant.

I'll wait until the old thing dies before replacing.
