Can I place the Whirlpool ARC 5550 refrigerator near the radiator

Question

I am renovating the kitchens and I would like to place the fridge fairly close to the radiator, about 15cm, is it feasible? Of course, the radiator only heats during the heating season. I am asking for advice.

If you absolutely have to and put it to this radiator with the back, I suggest making a screen about 5-7 cm behind the condenser. I would use a styrofoam with a thickness of 2 cm covered on the side facing the heater with aluminum foil.
If the radiator is on the side, the problem is less. Any screen is enough.

maybe not necessarily, but I have a constant kitchen and this solution will be the most appropriate in my mind. Mount the screen on the wall behind a condensation with aluminum foil.

Hello. A refrigerator is one thing, but if you block the radiator, it can be cold in the kitchen. Such a heater should have air access from below and above.

And how do the renovation and the heating season relate to each other, and whether it is a permanent or a renovation or other solutions?

morgan2003 · Answer

I set up the fridge permanently, not only for the time of renovation. So if it is possible to do.

Maybe it's better to move the radiator Usually, radiators are installed under the window, is it different for you?

To increase the efficiency of the refrigerator, turn off the heater in winter. Of course it was a joke, but you can't fool physics. As colleagues wrote earlier, you need to minimize the influence of the radiator on the "cooler" of the refrigerator through thermal insulation.

The refrigerator is designed to cool
Heat the radiator
If there is such a combination by inserting insulation, then if you isolate the radiator, it will not heat
If it is a final renovation, it is better to do it so that the radiator will heat up and the refrigerator will freeze, for example, beer

There is no need to say if you do it, it will be the worst solution of all possible and we will soon read the topic on the electrode - "Why does the codec work all the time?" or something like that.

You will pay more for electricity, the kitchen will be cold and the fridge will break down, nothing else will happen.

ok, so yes the radiator is actually under the window. There will be a kitchen cupboard next to the radiator, and a fridge next to the cupboard, this is what it will look like in the end, so how do you advise.

In my case, the radiator in the kitchen is practically turned off: the kitchen is small, and it will heat up enough when preparing meals: maybe it is an exit

morgan2003 · Answer

this is also an idea, but what do you think about this setting, is there any additional security measures needed for the refrigerator?

So it will not be quite at the radiator, it's cool generally there must be a radiator near the condenser in my case, it stands sideways to the radiator at a distance of about 20 cm and it is approx
