How much ventilation space is needed above fridge?
Find out how proper ventilation spacing helps your refrigerator stay cool, reliable, and energy efficient.
The recommended ventilation space above a fridge is typically 200cm² (square centimeters). This allows for proper airflow and helps the fridge operate efficiently. If you're spreading this ventilation area over a width of 60cm, you would need at least 3.3cm of height for the space.
Additionally, it's important to have a ventilation grid in the plinth (the bottom section) as well, to ensure proper air circulation and prevent overheating.
