Today I measured inline current draw at the fuse panel, in place of the fuse (with a good Fluke multimeter). At 13.11V: 435ma/5.7W with solenoid off, 655ma/8.6W with solenoid on. No measureable amperage with fridge turned off at the pushbutton.
Does my model have the door heater? I don't see any switch to turn it off.
When the fridge is off, my remaining parasitic loads total 3W. Not bad considering I have a radio and a BMV that are backlit 24/7, an MPPT and TPMS wifi booster that are always on, and the usual gas leak detectors.

Sorry, can't help at all on regards to a door heater.
I would take a good look at the schematic that was posted up for a wire leading to it if you might have one and put a remote switch on it if equipped with one. Without knowing better though, I'd be thinking that would be a pretty light draw for a heater. But...?
