Driven Refrigerator Amp Draw
Does anyone happen to have the nameplate of the Driven r-700s-d refrigerator they are using in some of the outside kitchens? I really don't want to have to unscrew it and pull it out if I don't have to. Nothing in the user manual unfortunately.

It's here:

For future reference, I highlighted the full name in your post, using Chrome. Then I right-clicked the highlighted portion and selected Search Google for Driven r-700s-d refrigerator. and the first hit I got was the manual. Took me less time that it took either of us to post here.

The OP is looking for the amp draw not a user manual that has no specs about the amp draw.
Thanks for the Google lesson.

For future reference, I searched the manual as well as Google (you can just type what you are looking for, easy peasy) for anything related to the amp draw of this refrigerator. Skimming the manual to see if it had the relevant information would have saved you the time it took you to post. I also searched these forums, with no results. Which is why I asked the question, hoping someone who has had this refrigerator out might have the nameplate data.

Surprised that it wasn't in the manual.

I checked quite a few Google links for amp info and none have the amp draw.

The manual even has a basic wiring diagram for troubleshooting, but no amp data. The only reference to it anywhere is a camping world page, which claims 1 amp... not believing that.

I think camping world left off a zero in that 1 amp rating.

Well, if it's not too much trouble for you, why don't you go to the breaker panel, take off the front cover (2 machine screws), and put your clamp-on AC ammeter on the wire coming from the breaker serving the refrigerator?
I can't think of an easier way right now.
Should be a lot easier than pulling the refrigerator out.

The camper sits away from AC power in 2 feet of snow, with another 18-20"+ on the way. So as you can see, the nameplate data would be helpful for future planning.

Stuff like this is so simple today.
I ain't smart, I just know where to look for the information. Thanks Larry!
