Not much. Eventually, the fridge will stop cooling.
I don't know about the energy consumption. but nearly anything you do
increases the energy.

Start budgeting for the replacement fridge.

I have determined that the compressor is the cause of my noisy
refrigerator. It clunks as it turns on & off. What effect does this
have upon the operation of the refrigerator other than being noisy?
Can this cause higher than normal electricity consumption?

Thanks.
