How about putting the refrigerator plug on a switch that turns off when one is around and turns back on when one is not around. I think I've heard of using a timer switch for that (one without dirty electricity itself). I think I've also heard of someone ES who had set up an infrared sensor to sense when a person is around and shut off the refrigerator at that time. There's also some amish? company selling refrigerators that don't work on AC.

Carries all kinds of weird stuff from the outer world as well as 60 hz and carrier waves, etc. and uses a god-awful amount of power. DC uses so much less. It's just expensive to go DC. Lot's of stuff to buy.
