American fridge freezers Buying Guide
If you need a nudge in the right direction, our buying guide’s here to help you out.
- Do American fridge freezers need plumbing?
Some models need plumbing directly to your water connection, but there are also non-plumbed models with a refillable water tank to save you the faff of installation. And you can even get non-plumbed models with ice makers, so you don’t have to miss out.
- How much space do I need?
It depends on which model your after. Check the dimensions and add 2cm on the sides and 4-5cm at the back for ventilation. And it’s always a good idea to check it’ll fit through your front door too!
- What is the difference between side by side and French door models?
Side-by-side American fridge freezers have 2 doors split down the middle, while a French door model has 2 doors on top and a freezer drawer on the bottom. There’s a great visual comparison in our buying guide.
- How much food can an American fridge freezer hold?
Most American fridge freezers hold 500-650 litres, which is ideal for a big family, batch cooking, or couples that love to stock up.
- Are American fridge freezers energy efficient?
Look for the energy rating on each model to find out how efficient it is. As they’re bigger than a standard fridge freezer, they might use a bit more energy. Look for A or B energy ratings and keep your eyes peeled for models with inverter compressors if you want an efficient appliance.
- Why is my American fridge freezer not cooling properly?
There are a few reasons your American fridge freezer might not be running as well as it used to. Check the air vents aren’t blocked, make sure there’s room in the fridge for air to get around your food, and have a look if your door seals are damaged or blocked. If your condenser coils at the back are covered in dust, a quick vacuum might solve the problem. Failing that, it could be a faulty thermostat or sensors, and calling an engineer to take a look is your best bet.
