"Clock outlets" are recessed - may or may not work for your refrigerator
plug, and as another post noted, they take a lot more space in the box -
which may not be available.

The refrigerator may have a 90° plug with the cord exiting parallel to
the wall. This would probably get you about as close to the wall as the
baseboard would allow.

We are planning to replacing our refrigerator with a new one that is
deeper than the current one. There is a regular surface-mount AC outlet
on the wall directly behind our refrigerator. I would like to replace it
with a recessed AC outlet, so that I can gain additional clearance
behind the new fridge.

I can't find such an outlet on the web, possibly because I do not know
what it is called in the trade. Anyone know?

Thanks!
