I can't give you the exact vale and I'm not sure what reason you need it for.

This table offers some suggestions:

Note the Average Watts column. This is used to determine power consumption, but doesn't take into time.

On the motor table, the average watts table should be labeled VA or volt-amps. This is a peak wattage necessary for starting the motor. Fridges are probably going to be 1/3 HP or less and probably less than 1/4 HP.

A simple fridge has a 40 W light bulb, a thermostat and a small motor. That info should really be on the nameplate in HP or VA.
