A:AnswerHello, Refrigerator model WRT518SZW is not garage ready. The refrigerator is intended for use in a location where the temperature ranges from a minimum of 55°F (13°C) to a maximum of 110°F (43°C). The preferred room temperature range for optimum performance, which reduces electricity usage and provides superior cooling, is between 60°F (15°C) and 90°F (32°C).
A:AnswerHi, we understand the importance to our customers of purchasing products made in the U.S. Whirlpool Corporation currently has 9 manufacturing locations across the United States, and 80% of the products that sell in the U.S. are manufactured here in the U.S.
A:AnswerIf you haven't bought this yet, buy a different model. If you already have it in your home and can't move the fridge further away from the wall, I'd suggest putting some padding on the wall.
An afterthought: you may be too close to the wall for proper ventilation, you should check on that. It needs 1/2" on each side.
