If you are talking about a certain kind or brand, look at the label inside the door. The label will tell you how many amps this unit will need. However all residential refrigerators will run on a 15 amp dedicated circuit or be fine plugged into a regular 20 amp appliance circuit (which is required in kitchens). I have a large side by side unit and it only draws 6.6 amps max. Note that the starting current of an induction motor will be higher, of course, but will drop and stabilize at a "nominal" level within seconds.

Check the nameplate or in themanual for the rating of the dishwasher. If you don't have the dishwasher manual, "Google" the make and model to get the specs. Usually appliance feeds are on separate circuits out of the house panel. Mine is fed with a single pole 15 amp breaker. Unless it is a very big machine (industrial) it will be under 12 amps.

An ordinary kitchen refrigerator would draw about 3 amps on a 240 v supply, for about 2 minutes per hour.

Different manufactures have different freezer components. Check the appliance's nameplate to get an accurate amperage of the unit.

There are NO amps IN a refrigerator. -All appliances consume electricity at different rates of power. Average refrigerators consume between 6-10 amps.
