I went to the Novakool factory in Coquitlam BC to get a new gasket for my fridge door. $28 after taxes installed, which I thought was a good deal.
While I waited, I talked to one of the managers. He mentioned that the duty cycle on these is typically 50%, meaning that they run 50% of the time. That will go up to 80% of the time on hot days.
So planning electrical loads on my system, that would work out to 4.9 amps for the fridge and 6.6 for the freezer, 11.5 amps or 138 amp hours for the day. Probably conservative.
