I inherited an old refrigerator, that is in the garage, when I purchased
my home.

I notice that with the temps around 90, the coils on the back of the
refrigerator are so hot I cannot touch them.
I moved the cords so that they would not touch the hot coils, but I am
wondering if this is safe? Should I pitch the refrigerator?

My kitchen refrigerator is fairly new, and there are no coils on the
back of it. Where are the coils located in the new refrigerators -
underneath, under the back cover where you cannot see them, etc.?

Thanks.

Kate

That could be normal .

The newer ones have the coils in the bottom or under a cover at the back.
Uou should find where they are at and blow the dust out from them.
Especially if they are on the bottom and get very dirty.

Yes, it's safe. It is OK to put a fan behind the fridge, blow away
some of the heat, keep the coils cool.

New fridge, the coils are under. You have to open the door and pull
off the cover to see them.
