Typically,  refrigerator models are not rated for outdoor use. There may be exceptions, however. Check your owner’s manual to confirm if your unit is specifically rated for outdoor use.

Actually, there is no standard size. Refrigerators come in a variety of models, so it’s important that you carefully measure the height, width and depth of the space your replacement refrigerator will occupy. Allow for space all around the unit – generally, at least 1.3 cm (1/2 inch) on the sides and top of the refrigerator and at least 2.5 cm (1 inch) behind. Consider the width of the fridge with the door open to be sure it can swing without striking counters or cabinets. Also, measure the doorways the unit will have to travel through to get to your kitchen. Always check and follow your appliance use and care guide and installation instructions before beginning any task, as these should be your primary source of information. Here’s a tip: Measure everything more than once, just to be sure!

Generally, change your water filter every 6 months (or every 200 gallons) and make a note of the date you install a replacement filter. If you notice a change in water or ice quality, that can be a signal to change the filter. Some refrigerators have indicators that will alert you when the filter needs changing. Refrigerator models are not all alike, so always consult and follow your owner’s manual and water filter installation instructions for exact details, as these should be your primary source of information.

Crisper drawers create a microclimate of higher humidity within your fridge that’s ideal for fruits and vegetables. Crisper drawers with seals are often preferred. Learn how to organize your fridge to get the best results.

The answer depends on the model of refrigerator. Typically, models have doors with fixed hinges that open either to the left or to the right. With these refrigerators, you will need to determine in advance whether “left swing” or “right swing” is best for your location. Some models, however, feature reversible hinges that can be moved from one side to the other, giving you the option of “left swing” or “right swing”.

Refrigerator temperatures should be from 0 – 4°C (33 – 40°F). You should also check that the vents inside your fridge are not obstructed by objects. Vents ensure proper airflow around your fridge. Blocked vents can lead to moisture buildup, ice buildup, and ineffective cooling. Also, avoid overpacking your fridge as this can obstruct airflow and your food may spoil sooner.

It’s really inconvenient to take everything out of your fridge when defrosting, right? Fortunately, many full-size and apartment-size refrigerators come with automatic defrost. It’s a good idea to check each model to be sure. For instance, many mini or compact refrigerators do not come with automatic defrost as a standard feature.
