I just saw your question. The Tek 465B is a nice scope but not what you need for the task. Here's a $15.00 solution that should be as easy as plugging it in to the wall outlet and plugging the refrig into it. It will record power consumption. https://www.amazon.com/Century-Energy-Voltage-Electricity-Monitor/dp/B06XH73LJB/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_469_lp_t_3?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=PZX4MHE68B35FSN5PW3F. Good Luck |
