I searched for used appliances or scratch n dent but not many places popped up. Anyone have a suggestion for a garage fridge?

Thanks for all the help, we are moving soon and can't wait.

I believe both Lowe's and Home Depot have scratch and dent, but you probably need to go to the store and ask. Also, I have seen these at Appliance Direct, which I think had tags on these.

Look at Appliance Direct in Fruitland Park. They usually have a section in their store for scratch and dents and returns.

Costco used to sell freezer and refrigerator for garage use. Then again sometimes garage space is hard to give up for a fridge

We bought the cheapest Frigidaire refrigerator that Lowes sold about 10 years ago for the garage. It is still in service today after moving to our 2nd TV house. In both houses we had A/C outlets installed just for fridge and we had water plumbed for the ice maker. We have been in our current house for about 5 years - no problem with fridge or with ice maker. We installed on an inside wall, because it was easier to run the electric and the water (tapped in to water line that runs into hot water tank).

We have had a refrigerator or freezer in our garage for all our 40 years in Florida (from the panhandle to Naples and in between). We have never had a problem. After many years of good service, if they die we buy another cheap fridge. I think we are on our 3rd fridge. I think we moved the inside fridge out to the garage in one house and bought a new kitchen fridge.

Buy the fridge and find a good spot in the garage that gives easy access (we are in our garage fridge multiple times daily), but leave room for car, golf cart, yard tools, work bench, etc. We could not live without our garage fridge. A thought - we have flipped the door left to right open or right to left open when it made access easier.

We also bought a basic refrigerator on sale at Lowe’s for our garage several years ago. It has performed great despite the heat. With a little searching, you should be able to find a basic model on sale somewhere in our area. I would be leery of buying a used refrigerator since the history could be murky. Besides, if you buy from a retailer, they will usually give you free delivery.

Four years now on an inexpensive LG purchased at Lowes. No special electric, no special cooling.

Appliance Direct is almost entirely scratch and dint. I got my garage Refrigerator there with just a couple of minor dints in the door at less than half the $ at Home Depot.

My garage temps has never been over 90 degrees here in Florida, now if I pull my car in hot it will heat up some till car cools down. Agree garage needs to be ventilated some if not heat may be problem?

I came from okieland summers approached 115, had hot point fridge in garage and freezer for 20 years outside heat had no affect on it as long as I left room for ventilation and cleaned coils and fan out regularly. Problem most don’t clean out coils and fan and fridg/freezer sets there and overheats due to no air flow over coils to cool down and compressor burns up. My nearly new Maytag refrigerator compressor when out just after warranty. I brought hot point back in house till I moved and junked Maytag.

We are closing late August. If seller leaves the one that’s in our garage, you can have it.

Sorry TV doesn’t have or probably even know what a NFM is, we live in TX. & as far as I know we’re the only ones that have a NFM ( Nebraska Furniture Mart) disregard my comment & stay with comments about Lowe’s & Home Depot! Again sorry I wasn’t thinking where I was at!

Last time I picked up my daughter from college, 2016, I kept her college size fridge. It still works, and you can have it. Holds about 28-32 cans of beer, or a full case of water bottles. 3 shelves.
