That would depend on the electrical draw of your refrigerator. Electrical cords are able to hand different amounts of current draw based on their length and the diameter of the electrical wires used in them. Usually you are OK if your extension cord is only a few feet and it's rated for the draw of the device being used. If you go with a really long cord (say 25 feet or more) you can get a drop in voltage if it's not thick enough. This can cause the motor of the device to burn out. This has happened to many people doing home renovation. The longer a cord is the thicker it's wire has to be to make sure the device see the amount of electricity it requires. This cord is marked for up to a 13 amp, 125 volt, 1625 watt load. (Amps X Volts = Watts. ) So if your refrigerator is not more than 13 amps or 1625 watts you should be OK, provided it's the only extension cord your using. The bad news is most large home appliances use 15, 20 or even 25 amp loads. There's probably a permanent tag on the refrigerator listing it's load (draw). Usually it's on the back near the electrical cord or somewhere near access to the motor. Like on the inside of a removable access panel. (Or some other spot away from normal view that only an installer or a repair man would see. The information should also be in the refrigerator manual. If it's a new refrigerator you can check with the store you bought it from. They should have that kind of information readily available. As a last ditch effort you can check with the manufacturer have the model number (and if possible the serial number and year of manufacture) available.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely! Most refrigerators draw less than 200 watts. And this is a 1625 Watt cord.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes there should be no reason you can’t.
