Fridges using ice that are Off the Grid will no longer drain power.
Fixed in Patch 1.105.297/1.87
Please create a new thread if you're still experiencing this issue,
I have the same issue. I found a off the grid fridge from dumpster diving and used it until I figured it might be the cause. It uses up 5 consumption so I got two solar panels, but it kept going. Then I deleted it, but it's still happening and I don't have anything on my lot that consumes power.
@LaJefa_05Interesting. I will try deleting my fridge and see if the power just drains on its own regardless. I did make sure that in the Bills menu it is set to "store" and not auto-sell, so it shouldn't be draining.
Edit: deleting the fridge kept my power, in my game. Once I added the off-the-grid fridge back, it started draining again.
i have the same problem with all of the grit fridges. and i also has this problems with of the grit lights! like candels on the wall use power HOW?!
Yeah, I think it might be the candles which is crazy. When the power runs out, the candles still work, but their's no power though.
Hmm, do you have candles on your lot? I'm starting to think it might also be a bug that candles are using power when they shouldn't on my lot.
I can confirm it's the fridge, even my Ice Box-style fridge uses power (and way too much; Five Roof-top Solar Panels, 1 Roof-top Wind Generator and 1 Ground Windmill can't keep up to a 5 Energy Consumption Iced Fridge) and not the candles. Note it takes a few seconds sometimes for the bills to update, so factor in that to your calculations. Also I'd like to add that it'd be nice (somewhat related) to have individual appliance power/water toggles instead of switching the entire house. (I know I can just store them in household inventory but that's not a real solution)

Edit: Since it's likely related to the power constantly switching on/off from this effect can I suggest that we reduce the number of notifications on off-the-grid changes until such a time as this bug is fully repaired? Either that or add an option in the Settings Menu: Limit repeated Notifications by playtime 5 minutes, 30 minutes, or 2 hours? I mean it's really annoying.
