Automatic defrost timers and heaters made refrigerator power consumption go up. Auto defrost can really suck up electricity, especially before the introduction of adaptive defrost controls - that is, microprocessor-based controllers that keep track of evaporator core defrost temperatures versus time and can better avoid unnecessary, extra defrost cycles.Stephen B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00746137367376861899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-22377489711821935562013-03-24T20:15:29.206-07:002013-03-24T20:15:29.206-07:00Appliances have become more efficient - the proble...Appliances have become more efficient - the problem is that with bigger houses, Americans have more appliances.patflahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03146408328788278621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-47625656750764952362013-03-24T17:17:54.734-07:002013-03-24T17:17:54.734-07:00rjs - I'm guessing the rise from 1950 to 1970i...rjs - I'm guessing the rise from 1950 to 1970ish is mainly due to refrigerators getting a lot bigger over that period. Just a guess, however.Stuart Stanifordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07182839827506265860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5235419263414453422.post-64058617995467805292013-03-24T15:06:36.874-07:002013-03-24T15:06:36.874-07:00does that chart mean my 1951 International Harvest...does that chart mean my 1951 International Harvester refrigerator was more efficient than the new Amana i bought to replace it?rjshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681812432224138582noreply@blogger.com
