Free check — refrigerator during a power cut
Will your fridge hold through the power cut, and on what?
A provisional answer is on screen before the first question. Two questions at most sharpen it, then your own figures decide.
Scope: UK mains, 230 V / 50 Hz, BS 1363 sockets. No US evidence (120 V, TT-30, EnergyGuide labels) is used here.

Answer first, before any question
Verdict not sufficiently supported
Which refrigerator are you keeping cold?
This is the answer most likely to change the verdict.
One energy figure is missing: the annual kWh printed on your own energy label.
Low / insufficient confidence — no unit is recommended at this level of evidence.
What this answer assumes (6)
- A household compressor refrigerator on 230 V / 50 Hz
- An outage of about 24 hours
- The refrigerator only — no other load
- No recharge credited during the outage
- Automatic changeover is not assumed
- No annual consumption is assumed: it comes from your own energy label
