Take Proper Precautions For A Garage or Basement Refrigerator And Install A Frigidaire Garage Kit

Our garage kits work with top-mount refrigerator models manufactured from 2001 to present day. They are not designed to fit refrigerators that were made before 2001, side by side models, counter depth models or models with electric controls. This garage heater kit is used to prevent your refrigerator from wearing out during extremely cold weather conditions. Each Frigidaire garage kit comes with a heater and easy to follow instructions for a fast and simple installation.

You should monitor refrigerators that are kept in a garage or basement more closely than those kept indoors. Here are some of the precautions you can take to maintain a proper working garage or basement refrigerator.

• Place a thermometer near the appliance, so you know how cold the room is. If the temperature falls below 40 degrees, install a Frigidaire garage kit, which will keep refrigerators working their best in temperatures as low as 34 degrees.
• If you don’t use the refrigerator often, check the inside for leaks and mold at least once a month.
• Like refrigerators that are stored in the house, once a month, clean the inside shelves and walls of the appliance.
• Keep the area around the refrigerator clean and free of dirt, dust and debris.
• Leave plenty of room between the wall and the refrigerator, so air is able to flow around the coils.
• If you have a heated garage, keep the temperature above 55 degrees. Although the garage is heated, you should still install a Frigidaire garage kit as an extra precaution.
• Keep all combustible materials away from the refrigerator.

As the holidays near you may want to start stocking up on food and drinks, and an extra refrigerator in the garage or basement will provide you with plenty of space to store your holiday purchases. Many people favor a second refrigerator in the garage because it makes carrying and putting away groceries easier. Instead of carrying heavy bags and boxes in the house, simply place them in the garage refrigerator!
