Hello
Bear with me, I'm just a housewife of very little brain. But I thought that (amps x voltage) ÷1000 = kw. My fridge freezer says it's 1.4amp. Since it's a Liebherr brand I've multiplied that by 230v. I've got my own kind of logic. That gives me 0.322kw. Have I gone wrong right at the beginning? The fridge label says it's 186w. How can that be?
I'm wondering, because if I multiply 0.332 by 24 hrs, then by 15p a kw/h unit and then by 365 days, I get an annual cost of £423. But when I Google 'How much does it cost to run a fridge freezer?' all the answers are under £100.
So where am I going wrong in my calculations? Should I have stayed in school beyond the age of 16?
Can you please explain what I am obviously not understanding?
Thank you.
