Frequently Asked Questions

What's The Difference Between An Indoor And Outdoor Refrigerator?

Obviously, an indoor fridge is meant for indoor use and an outdoor fridge is meat for outdoor use - but what does that mean exactly?

There are a couple of main differentiators between the two types of refrigerators.  First, the parts, components, and electronics in an outdoor refrigerator are either naturally able to withstand or treated to withstand outdoor elements.

Second, outdoor refrigerators are able to handle a wider ambient temperature range.  While most indoor settings have a temperature of 65-75ºF, the temperature outdoors can fall into a much wider range.  Outdoor refrigerators are designed to work in a wider temperature range.

How Do You Protect An Outdoor Refrigerator?

The best way to protect your outdoor refrigerator long term is to configure it in a way that it is not exposed to direct sunlight or elements for an extended period of time.

This could mean you install your refrigeration units in a protected cabinet, place them underneath a covered patio, cover them with weather resistant covers, or all of the above.

How Do You Winterize An Outdoor Refrigerator?

The specific instructions for how to winterize an outdoor refrigerator varies by manufacturer, so you should check your owner's manual for the best information.

With that being said, there are a few steps you will most likely need to take no matter who manufactured your unit.

• Turn the unit off
• Let the unit come up to ambient temperature
• Thoroughly clean the interior and exterior of the unit
• Close the door
• Drain water lines
• Install a new water filter the next time you turn the unit on

Do You Need Locks On An Outdoor Refrigerator?

Locks are necessary on a case by case basis.  They may be a good idea if you are worried about children or critters opening the fridge when you aren't around.

Locks are also popular with customers who are installing their outdoor refrigerator in a commercial setting.

What Does Outdoor Rated Mean?

The most popular rating standard for outdoor products is the UL rating.  If an outdoor refrigerator is UL rated for outdoor use, that means it is approved for safe outdoor use and that the fridge is weatherproofed. 

What Happens If A Refrigerator Isn't Outdoor Rated?

Using a fridge that isn't outdoor rated can have some serious consequences.  At best, the unit will lose functionality relatively quickly and at worse, serious malfunctions can occur that could harm a person or damage your property.
