Exactly-- That's how mine paid for itself. Turned out the 8yr old
fridge was using 4 times as much electricity as the 30 yr old freezer.


That's pretty surprising. Was something wrong with the fridge?


My guess was there was a defrost cycle stuck on-- But somebody put a
good one on sale so I didn't even try to figure out what the problem
was. Replaced it and paid for the toy.

The electric bill went back to normal and the freezer lasted a few
more years.
