Watts and Volts are two distinct types of measurement.

Ohms law will tell you watts equals volts times amps: 115 x 5 = 575
Volts don't make power. Watts do. Watts = (volts) x (amps) 1 horsepower = 746 watts
1 watt = 1 amp * 1 volt So.... In a house: 5 amps * 115 volts = 575 watts In a car: 5 amps * 12 volts = 60 watts
The number of watts measures the power, and Ohm's laws requires us to know the current as well as the voltage to determine the power.P = i x eFor example, if the fridge draws 10 amps at 115 volts, the power is 1150 watts.AnswerThe answer is that it depends on the fridge. Look at the nameplate information for your particular fridge; that's where you will find your answer.
watts = volts x amps x power factor
