Stand under the fridge

Many owners of refrigerators use the floor as the main support. But this is not always an alternative solution. Sometimes as a base, you can use special coasters under the refrigerator. These designs are of several types, which makes it possible to choose it for any interior.

3. Reduced vibration.This approach involves the use of special materials that are able to dampen mechanical vibrations. It is recommended to apply to refrigerators that stand on an uneven floor or emit too much rattling.

The use of coasters is impractical only in a few cases:

2. After the location of the stand access to the shelves difficult.
