Power saving number two was to start cleaning the compressor coils on
the fridge once a year.

I've found a significant saving can also be to add a tiny AC fan across
the fridge motor, if it's not very well ventilated, to keep hot air from
pooling.

Also, a couple of inches of insulation foam on each side of the fridge can
cut its energy use significantly.
