Original answer:

3600 watts

Updated answer:

That depends on the tag that is affixed to the refrigerator. Each refrigerator will require a different current, and therefore the amount of load will vary between models. For U.S. homes, a dedicated circuit is not required so most "normally-sized" refrigerators will require less than 12 amps (80% of 15 amps in a 15-amp 120 volt circuit) or less than 1440 watts. Larger or commercial refrigerators may require more than that, but for most homes, 1440 watts is a safe maximum for a refrigerator.
