PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To shorten the measuring time for power consumption of a refrigerator remarkably by a method wherein the power consumption of the refrigerator is operated based on the measured power consumption of a defrosting cycle, the average power consumption of operation per one time of normal cycle, the time of the defrosting cycle and an average operating time per one time. SOLUTION: A power consumption Whdef-A and the like are different in respective amounts, however, the amount of electric power Whin is constant regardless of the number of times of a power supply cycle. Further, respective times DT-A and the like corresponding to the power consumption of the Whdef-A and the like are different, however, respective times CT corresponding to the power consumption of Whin are constant regardless of the number of operating cycle. Accordingly, the power consumption of a refrigerator can be confirmed by measuring the amount of electric power Whdef-A, consumed upon forced defrosting, respective amounts of electric power Whdef-B, Whdef-c, consumed during two times of compressor operating cycles after the forced defrosting, the amount of electric power Whin, consumed during the normal operating cycle of the refrigerator per one time after the compressor operating cycles of two times, times DT-A corresponding to respective amounts of electric power and the like. |
