When designing a kitchen can a fridge freezer and an electric oven be put together, if not why not?
Question:
Answers:
No, they can't be put together. For 2 reasons:
Touch a piece of metal on your stove and your fridge at the same time... can you feel the electric shock? That's the first reason.
The second reason you can't is that the heat from your stove when it's in use will heat your fridge insulation, making your motor work harder to keep the fridge cool. This will greatly reduce the life of your fridge...
I would think not! Usually not the way a kitchen needs to be set up. I think the heat generated by the oven wouldn't be good to have next to the fridge for one thing. Also, you need to have as much bench space as you can manage beside your oven so that your food preparation area is close to the cooker. Can you fit all that in the one area? I have no doubt there are other good reasons not to have fridge and oven side by side.
No
Absolutely! Just ventalate properly and be sure there is not a building code involved which would prohibit this set-up.
No, it's not an ideal situation. The heat from the oven will make the refrigerator work harder to stay cool. It will cost you more for the electricity because the relay switch will continue to click on and off.
Just install a narrow counter between and the question is solved.
