Conclude the series with guidance on inspecting refrigerators and freezers, appliances often considered personal property but crucial to evaluate when included in home sales. Learn why inspectors should never move these appliances, understand the sizing challenges with modern French door models in older homes, and discover proper electrical circuit requirements including why GFCI protection should be avoided. We cover door gasket inspection, interior temperature assessment, ice and water dispenser testing, and how to identify appliances nearing end of service life. Special attention is given to built-in models requiring anti-tip devices and the unique considerations for different door swing directions.
