Thanks Paul.  Do you know if there is a standard for adjusting the kWh/y consumption of a refrigerator based on it's condition and/or age?

don't think there is any kind of standard, especially given that even the usage of new units can vary quite a bit from rated kwh. Nothing like a metered test!

Are you referring to using a kill-o-watt?

yes - any kwh meter will do. get a few days worth of data for best accuracy.
