can I use this for a refrigorator

If you're asking about the extension cord that I think you are, you probably can, but I wouldn't recommend your using it for a refrigerator. I tried using that extension cord with a refrigerator I used in the garage, refrigerator developed operating problems, and I had to have repairs made to the refrigerator. I switched to a more heavy duty extension cord and have not had problems with the refrigerator since.

Very likely, however I would ask an electrician before I used an extension cord on any big appliance. Jean

Maybe if you put it on the top of the fridge, but there has to be a better fridge lock to use for your application. If I had a side by side fridge/freezer, I would probably use a lock like this one Safety 1st Side By Side Cabinet Lock, 2-Count or else a lock like this one: Parent Units Double Door Fridge Guard, Black Strap

I don't know because I use my carafe only for refrigerated drinks. Could you possible ask Rubbermaid company and see what they suggest?

It would depend on your refrigerator. Most refrigerators are cooled from a single compressor and coil system. Some have one compressor and two coils. You would need at least this dual-coil setup. The wiring hack would be very tricky and discouraged for a DIYer. These kinds of fridges are already expensive and messing with the wiring would void the warranty and possibly destroy the machine. Probably easier and safer to get a dedicated fridge and freezer for each purpose you need. They come in all shapes and sizes, so space really wouldn't be a problem.

I've used it for that with our drink fridge. Found that the bottom shelf was about 10 degrees cooler. More than accurate enough.

No it is to large a smaller one would I got a stainless steel one that would work great for your refrigerator. I found it on Amazon as well.

Im sure it would work fine on a refrigerator, but I only did small things so I don't know how many cans it would take to do a whole frig, sorry.

No, this unit is way too small for that.This unit is for simple power needs, coffee maker, run a small fridge, a fan etc.I have used this to run a simple fridge, fan and coffee maker. .during a 2 day power short.It can handle all of this with no problem. The bad side, it will drink the gas.

I wouldn't recommend you use this unit as a fridgerator. I doubt the unit can recover and hold the desired temp in frequent door open situations.

Yes this would work for that however I don't think it is NSF approved which all food storage items have to be for any commercial operation. If this is just for home use I would leave it up to you. It is pretty large be sure to check the dimensions so you know.

I do not know the model of my refiigerator, but it is a 4dr w/ice maker. This one worked. Good luck!

If you are talking about a single refrigerator/freezer unit like those commonly found in a kitchen the answer is no. That is because the J.C. unit plugs into the wall and the refrigerator/freezer appliance plugs into the J.C. unit. The J.C. unit has a probe that measures the temperature in the freezer. Whether or not electricity is allowed through the J.C. unit to the appliance depends on the temperature in the freezer. When the temperature in the appliance rises above that allowed by the setting, electricity is allowed to pass to the appliance which is how the compressor comes on. As the typical refrigerator/freezer only has one single plug you would not be able to use the freezer with the J.C. unit independent of the refrigerator. I hope this helps and best wishes!

I don't see why not...as long as it's all dry contents -- you don't want to get the unit wet. But yes, this would make a handy way to shift around a larger amount of foodstuffs in the pantry...Hey, now you've given me a new organizing idea! ;-)

No you can not. I love my lock&lock; and they keep everything fresh. I also have a foodsaver machine and love it also.

As long as your refrigerator is magnetic, yes. Stainless steel fridges aren't usually magnetic.

I'm using it for a 720 watt fridge. I think the startup on a fridge compressor would be greater than that for a garage door opener, but have nothing scientific to back that up.

You can what you need as long as the wattage in not greater than 3200 watts. Multiple 120 volts X number of amperes of each device to get total wattage demand. For example your refrig requires say 12 amps current so you would be using 1440 watts of power. Four 60 watt light bulbs burning would consume 240 watts, add an electric heater would probably eat up 1500 watts. So, for power outages, you might consider one of twice the wattage. This little generator helped me to power electric chainsaws after several trees were downed. It's a good buy.
