If you're seeing only 0.83A, then you're looking at the current drawn by a fan or light bulb in the fridge, not the compressor.

No, I am sure of what I said, that was considered at the time.

But if the compressor is not pumping into a loaded condenser the power drain will be low as I stated. Your fans n **** are more like ¼ amp.

Go look, you'll see I am right. It just so happens I have recent experience with this. Not many people last year went into a store and convinced the manager to allow connecting an ammeter to one of their new refrigerators. I did.
