I also can't access specific details about individual appliances. However, I can provide you with general guidelines on how to estimate the electricity consumption of your refrigerator.

To estimate the monthly electricity consumption of your refrigerator, you'll need to know its power rating and usage pattern. Here's a general approach:

  1. Find the power rating: Look for the power rating of your LG refrigerator on the appliance's label or in the user manual. The power rating is usually given in watts (W).

  2. Convert watts to kilowatts: Divide the power rating by 1000 to convert watts to kilowatts (kW) since electricity bills are usually measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh).

  3. Check the usage pattern: The usage pattern of the refrigerator can vary depending on factors like the frequency of door openings, ambient temperature, and how well it is maintained. On average, a 190-liter refrigerator with a 4-star rating should consume around 150-250 kWh per year. You can divide this by 12 to get an estimated monthly consumption range.

  4. Use a power meter: To get a more accurate estimate, you can use a power meter that plugs into the wall outlet and measures the actual electricity consumption of the refrigerator over a specific period, like a month.

Keep in mind that the actual electricity consumption may vary based on usage and environmental factors, so the best way to get an accurate estimate is by using a power meter.

If you're concerned about energy efficiency and want to reduce your refrigerator's electricity consumption, here are some tips:

  • Ensure the refrigerator's door seals are tight and free from gaps.
  • Keep the refrigerator away from heat sources and direct sunlight.
  • Set the temperature to the recommended levels (around 3-5°C for the refrigerator and -15 to -18°C for the freezer).
  • Avoid leaving the refrigerator door open for extended periods.
  • Regularly defrost the freezer if it's not a frost-free model.
  • Keep the refrigerator reasonably filled to help maintain its temperature.

For more precise information on your specific refrigerator model, I recommend referring to the user manual or reaching out to LG customer support.
