OpenStudio's refrigeration systems are geared towards commercial refrigeration, so the would likely be way oversized for a residential refrigerator/freezer. You might be able to reduce the sizes of things, but the condenser inside, and beef up your refrigerator insulation values, but I recommend looking at the load calculation section in ASHRAE Fundamentals for guidance on typical operating values. A residential refrigerator cycles some, but is otherwise a fairly consistent load.
