New refrigerators don't really use much current.
I agree, my fridge is medium sized and is labeled at 4.75 amps @ 115 volts.
Many other items in my kitchen are more of a concern.
My microwve 1800 watts @ 120 volts. (15 amps)
My 'Hot Shot' (It boils water for one cup of coffee) 1475 watts.
Small convection oven 1800 watts.
All of those are counter top appliances that run from the small appliance branch circuits.
