Wine cellar Answered

its not in too smaller space and that is a very good thought.

The fridge should not be in a small, enclosed space anyway, or it will not work efficiently.

Hmphrh; try telling my landlord that. He has ours in a cubbyhole less than an inch wider then the refrigerator.

As long as there is space above and behind for warmed air to escape, you should be OK. If it's shut in behind a door, ask your landlord if he wants you to drill vent-holes, or does he want to buy a new fridge when that one dies?

It is ceiling above (about a foot above) the refrigerator, less then a foot behind it, and almost nothing on the sides...I personally think it is a fire trap...the one upstairs started a fire a few years back and it is housed the same way.

You definitely need to have a "word" with your landlord!

Well, over here it is actually a very risky type of business. I mean, we have a lot of ways to go from here to get things "fixed" around here, but it never puts one on "good terms" to force another to take care of things. So, for now (and until my wife can clean up her act) we stay watchful and hope nothing horrible happens.

Actually, in the city, the landlords have a much stricter set of rules to bow to also _{we are located just outside the city border, and so are considered in the Township}

Interesting idea
