it's heavier than thermoform material and slick with adhesive

One Horsepower is generally considered to require about 750 watts.
so 2.25 HP will need a solid 1700 watts. This is probably a peak rating,

I can tell you that there are two holes, maybe just one between the fridge and

When the water does end up acumulating on the top shelf of my fridge, it
