We have an LG counterdepth fridge. It has to be close to 12 years old. I like it and would definitely get another counterdepth. But we also have a second fridge in our mechanical room. My warning would be do not get the ice in the door.

Lots of info via google. Do your search, then click Forums.

Thanks, PPF! I didn’t think of using Google, just the search here.

BeverlyFLADeziner, we will have the old fridge and /or a small freezer three steps away in the garage.

clergychick, what's the climate where you live? It you have cold winters, and an unheated garage, a standard fridge or freezer won't work in the garage.

We had an old fridge in the garage when we lived in the northeast and it worked just fine 99.9% of the time. Garage walls had some insulation, but definitely not heated.

We've also had a spare fridge in hot garages in CA and FL, and never had an issue with those either.

When we remodeled about 6 years ago, we got a CD Fridge. It's a GE Profile. It's been great- but yes it really is smaller. We gave away our other fridge ( we probably should have kept it in the garage but it's a tight fit). Honestly the only time it's an issue is Thanksgiving. OTherwise it's really just DH and I . The freezer is more the issue but we mangage fine.

chispa, it's not the heat, it's the cold, though a hot garage will obviously make the appliance work a lot harder. Most fridges with a freezer operate on the temp in the fridge. If the garage gets below the fridge setting (say 30°), the fridge won't run - and neither will the freezer. If one doesn't use the freezer compartment, it should be okay.

The counter depth ones are usually (if not always?) taller so if you have low cabinets over your current fridge you’ll need to decide if you’re willing to raise them or modify them to accommodate the height of the new one. My hubby ended up doing a quick modification of the cabinets we had when we bought our first one.

Thanks, SKmom. This would be part of a total kitchen remodel, so we won’t need to alter existing ones, but now i know we will need to pick a model early enough to have the height requirements before the cabinets are ordered.
