How safe is to place a mini fridge inside the closet of my basement?

Question

Ventilation is not great but it's fresh.

Thanks

Answer 1

It should not be a problem.  The fridge manufacturer should have given dimensions for distance from the wall clearances.  As long as they are met, it will safely work.

Answer 2

It needs some air flow to remove the heat from the condenser coils on its rear. Try putting it in the closet and check for excessive air temperature a day later. If it's too hot you'll have to provide some kind of additional ventilation.
