Hey everyone,


*I am looking to build a kegerator and can't find a mini fridge
without a shelf at that bottom. *Ideally the shelf should be at the
top like this unit..

* I came up with the brainstorm idea of running the fridge upside
down and wondered if this would be possible and reasonable to do.
Does anyone know if it would be possible for me to modify the
refrigerator to run upside down? *I have always heard that you should
never lay a refrigerator down but do not know why, can anyone explain
this.


Thanks in advance,


Jeff


I would not recommend running it upsidedown. *Bad idea....
As far as laying a refrig down, that's not a problem as long as it's
allowed to stay upright for several hours before plugging it in. *I've
moved many refrigs in trailers or pickup trucks, and I always lay them
over. *You dont want to be going down the highway and have a fridge
fall out onto the road. *I've always had them work just fine once they
are moved, but I always let them stand upright for awhile. *Usually a
full day, even though that long is probably not necessary.


Why cant you remove the shelf? *Most fridge shelves come out.
Although I am not familiar with the minis.- Hide quoted text -

Hey...this is a.h.r

Using the proper tools, ALL fridge shelves come out. g- Hide quoted text -

Thanks everyone for the input. The shelf I am refering to is the one
at the very bottom that is built it to the back to hide the compressor
and other items. As far as I know removing that shelf would be fatal
to the refrigerator.
