mine is a maytag mod. mtm1943arw it pulls 289 to 300 watts when running and not defrosting . 300/125 = 2.4 amps
When I run from battery bank I use an old H F timer set to 40min. on 30min off it works grate .

There is no such thing as "fridge that pulls below 5 amp hours" Did you mean ... a) 5 running Amps at 12 volts DC b) 5 running Amps at 120 volts AC That is huge difference, a factor of 10 times. Refrigerator has compressor that pulls many times ( 3x to 4x ) the running amps when starting. Inverter type refrigerators are very efficient and have lower starting amps. Energy Star
Typically, 300 Kilowatt-Hours per year or 1,000 Watt-Hours per day. |

Here are the 115 volt 60 hx 2.7 amp hr. That is on the Sticker. It has ben in service for
Now I don't monitor this fridge 24 7. I happy It doesn't drain the battery bay. Maybe it it that It just doesn't run 24 7. Hey it works. Good luck in any quest you have. What you are looking for I hope you find it. It Running off a Inverter 12 volt DC to a 120.
Nope I am Not a electrician Not a repairman and not a salesman, Still a rookie for the last 5 years in solar and I am on a 12 Volt quest. But I do use inverters to get the job done . Dont like it but I have to use inverters, God Bless you
Dave I am happy so far and have moved on.

That is a very odd sticker: "115 volt 60 hx 2.7 amp hr"
I think, the sticker should read "115 volts 60 hz 2.7 amps ac", which is about 300 Watts (running)
300 watts is typical for a small fridge.
That "hr" abbreviation after the "amps", makes no sense.
I have no idea why the mfr would add an "hr" suffix after "amps", very confusing.

tytower Hi
I am 63 and my new VA shoulders are awesome.THX for asking. Today I started putting in corner post for My New panel Rack. Heavy Ceder. Just awesome. I refinished 4 Hail Damaged panels. And this is where they are going to power up a Well pump in a remote area. So for not having to ask anyone for help is great.
