Tpoppa Posted December 16, 2010 Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 My beer fridge is an old pop machine with a bunch of punk rock and motorcycle stickers all over it. I never noticed it running when temps were below freezing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casper Posted December 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 16, 2010 The OH building code only requires the "common" wall(s) (the walls between the house and the garage) to be "insulated". I don't recall the specific R value, but I do know it is LOW. So if it's 12〫outside, it will only be a matter of hours before the garage is 12〫. If memory serves correctly, Ben only has the one common wall which is along a hall area, so that leaves 2 uninsulated walls and the zero insulated garage door.Correct. I have one insulated wall. And I've had the garage door open off and on getting the snow shovel out, getting the snow blower running, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beegreenstrings Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 Mine is plugged in right beside the deep freeze. Both stay plugged in year round.I would like to add that nothing is frozen in my fridge? everything is right at 33* or so says the thermometer?

YSR_Racer_99 Posted December 17, 2010 Report Share Posted December 17, 2010 I ran into the same thing the other night. Was sitting on the couch about 10pm and heard an odd boom from somewhere behind me. Figured it was a paint can exploding in the garage or something. Didn't feel like cleaning it up (and worried about the white car in there for a moment), so figured I'd deal with it later. Turns out that it was a can of Dr Pepper in the mini fridge out in the garage. Had frozen and blown the top completely off. Not through the little drinking hole. The whole top blew out around the wrapped seam at the top of the can. Pretty cool. Unplugged the fridge. Oh, and brought all aerosols and waxes inside....

ohiomike Posted October 25, 2011 Report Share Posted October 25, 2011 Weird............my mom winters in Florida but leaves her fridge out in the garage full with nothing ever freezing, and thats up in Traverse City, Michigan. It gets a whole lot colder up there than anywhere around Columbus, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
