The wattage depends on the type and capacity of the fridge and will vary. The wattage should be found on a label fastened to the fridge.

What you have to do is find out how many amps the refrigerator is drawing, it should be on the nameplate. Use this formula Watts = Amps x Volts. You already know the voltage multiply it by the amps and you will have your answer.

A refrigerator will use anywhere from 300 watts to 750 watts, it all depends on the type. Sub Zero refrigerators use 2 compressor's, so will use more.

All refrigerators require a dedicated circuit due to the Locked Rotor Amps, or LRA, this is the amp draw used to start which can be many times more than the RLA or Run Load Amps, thus despite only drawing say 750 watts, the start up will draw many times more, thus you are not to run two refrigerator's off of of a single 20 amp outlet.
