Tips for Connecting a Refrigerator to an Extension Cord.
One of the most common ways to connect a refrigerator to an extension cord is by using a junction box. This cardboard box contains two wires, one red and one black, which you plug into the appropriate receptacle on your refrigerator and then plug the other end of the extension cord into the junction box.
If you have an American Standard fridge, there are three junction boxes available on your model. The first junction box is located at the bottom of your fridge, under the freezer; it has a red wire and a black wire. The second Junction Box is located near your power outlet; it has two wires connected together, white and black. The third Junction Box is located near your water line; it has a white wire and a black wire connected together.
The next step in connecting your fridge to an extension cord is to determine how much electricity your refrigerator produces. Your appliance will likely indicate its consumption in watts (W). To find out how much electricity your refrigerator produced last year, divide its wattage by 12 (or any other number you choose), and that should give you an estimate of its current output.
