Placing a refrigerator in an unheated, uncooled garage can lead to several issues. In hot weather, the fridge works harder, increasing energy use and causing wear on the compressor. In cold temperatures, the fridge may stop running, leading to frozen fridge items and thawed freezer goods. Temperature fluctuations can create inconsistent cooling, while humidity may cause rust and electrical malfunctions. To minimize these problems, consider using a garage-ready fridge, improving insulation, cleaning condenser coils, and ensuring proper ventilation. Taking these steps will help your refrigerator run efficiently year-round.
