It does sound like a lot, and I’ve only measured once.
The fridge is in a cabinet, enclosed on 3 sides, so maybe it’s not letting enough hot air out ?
I could be wrong, but I think it was stated as using 184 kWh / year (at room temp 22C, optimal conditions), which is just over 0.5 kWh/day, and considering that the summerhouse is usually cooler than that (12-16C) when unoccupied, I would assume it used even less power.
As it is, for this entire week, the heat pump has (self) reported using 1.8 kWh/day, and according to my power company, my daily consumption has been 1.8 kWh/day. Considering that there are 5-7 IoT things plugged in, the fridge probably isn’t using much power.
