    Your biggest problem with the use of a fridge in a garage is not the electricity but the possibility of fire from the use of a motor compressor in a garage/storage area.

    How often is the compressor checked for build up of debris for example? Is the compressor under continuous load? Are there items stored around the fridge and is there sufficient clearance? How old us the fridge and us it in good working order?

    These are all serious issues regarding the use of appliances such as fridges in garages.  Fridges are a very common cause of house fires. A simple Google search will confirm. Or better still speak to your fire services provider and/or local fire brigade.

    And because garage fires can be so devestating it is unwise I would suggest to allow in garage/storage areas the use of continuous load appliances such as refrigerators.
