Kitchen Aid 15 cu. ft. [RE-wrenches]

[Tom Elliot, Guffey Energy Works]

If the Brand reset it would have reset everything and Bob said it showed
days of operation as well as total Kwhrs.  So it was running for at least
355 days.  That fridge must use a lot of power in those last 10 days in a
year.  ;-)
