I looked up your model number and found, as expected, that the "average" power usage based on energy rating is much lower than the 7.2 Amp peak.
On "average" the fridge should use just under 2 kW-hours per day, so averaged over 24 hours in a day, that's under 100 watts. So average current over long periods of time should be in range of 1 Amp or so at 115-Volts.
The "full load" current probably only kicks in for short periods; like maybe the occasional defrost cycle and the like.
