Any things I need to make sure if I want to buy a refrigerator to put
in my garage. The garage is inside the house, but it is not very well

freeze) and gets real hot in the summer.

I have heard that certain types of refrigerators have problems, but I
have a bunch of neighbors that have refrigerators in their garages in
my same type of house and say that they work fine.

Any hints to pick a good one? Someone once mentioned about making
sure that it had separate temperature controls for the refrig. and for
the freezer or something like that. Not sure of the details.

I have had a refridgerator/freezer in my unheated attached garage for 15 =

years. It used to be in my kitchen until I redid the kitchen. The garage =

is insulated from the rest of the house (two walls and ceiling) and the=20
outside walls, and is sheetrocked on all walls and ceiling. I have two=20
wooden 8' overhead garage doors and two double hung, double gazed,=20
windows. I live in NYS where the temps often go into the teens, or=20
lower, in winter. The garage is never below 40=BA. Since I redid the=20
kitchen, the kitchen refridgerator has had three service calls (extended =

warrantee), but the garage refridgerator is still running strong without =

any problems. Last year, I put a chest freezer in the garage too.
