Can confirm. Use a fridge from 1974. 2 years ago thermostat failed. Replaced with digital one for $15. Now have a nice digital readout of the temps. Thing uses ~~180W~~ 100W when running, less than bigger newer ones.
It's even more ecological to keep it running since it still has the nasty ozone layer killing coolant that would partly evaporate when trashing it.
EDIT: 100W just checked the type plate.
Luckily I'm pretty sure we are at least on an up trend when it comes to the ozone layer so even when eventually it kicks the can you don't need to worry too much about that anymore. Now we just gotta fix carbon emissions.
