Likely has a cap hiding in the back somewhere to get power from and a plug over the hole to supply water.
We have an old GE that got moved to the garage for extra stuff and pop. I think the freezer is used more.
Also it would be nice to have a chest freezer. But we don't right now. The spot I would put it in the utility room
already has power for one. The one down side is the space is only for one of the smaller units.
The lesson learned was to NEVER let mom design the remodel. I really should of put my foot down on some
of the ideas that her and the contractor came up with. So next time she can ask for things and if they screw
things up badly they just won't happen.
Costco has one that will almost fit. Then they get a new batch and they will fit.
Home Depot seems to have one in there regular stock that looks to be one that
should fit. It's a case of jumping on one when I see it. If I wait and ask they seem
to be out of stock.
Yep and make sure ths spot is square and does not have a crooked wall.
Good friend found that out when he got the wife a nice new fridge. We found
that the back was narrower than the front by about an inch. So the fridge
went back. he did not want to rebuild the wall.

Yeah, learned that one too -- previous house had a remodeled part of the garage into a kitchen, where they had the cabinet spot for the fridge, at the very back was this corner of wall they fit the cabinet to - basically the fridge could only go back so far. A standard fridge stuck out another 6" more than they usually do. We ended up putting in a counter depth one that fit much better, but man they want a pretty penny for those "counter depth" units - like they cost that much more to make... :-/
Two ways of dealing with ref depth. If new cabinets are going in, have deeper cabinets built to come out to the ref. The second works on an interior wall like we have.
Oh, and since ice makers are all the rage, in case someone doesn't know at least yearly the ice maker should be cleaned. I pull our completely out and disassemble.

I only use ice covered in Rum. I'm hoping the alcohol kills anything growing.
Our LG has a pretty open simple ice maker with a removable hopper in the back of the door. The water is squirted directly into the cast aluminum cube molds and freezes. Then ejected by fingers right into the hopper. Easy and not much to clean really.

Also not easy to clean. I guess I could get some of the big machine cleaner and do a cleaning that way. I would just have to reduce the amount that goes into the trays and rinse a few times like with the big machine.
I used to clean out the big ice makers once a year or is something tasted off. My direct boss was one of the few that made sure things were cleaned. The soda fountains were cleaned every night. Not like some fast
food places where you can taste the black mold that is growing on the soda nozzle of the fountain. I never can understand how places can't take the time to clean that equipment .It only takes about 10 minutes to
clean a full station. A little hot water and some brush work and your done. The black water mold only shows up on the soda side. Most people don't say anything and just move on. One new Mc Ds was so bad after they
had been oprn for about 6 mo I made a call about it.
I won't even go into the mess you can find in open ice bins at the fountains. If you see them scooping with the glass or cup walk away.
If they are doing things right they use a scoop and clean the bin once a week or more.
Clean an ice maker?! About the only thing we do is throw out the 1st couple batches of cubes when it's been down for awhile or a new one goes in...
Thanks for the help on the old garage fridge guys -- it was as you all said: prewired for a valve and a spot to plug the tube up in the back to fill the ice maker. Parts are on order - it's a 30'+ run from the water source and wouldn't you know on Amazon a hundred feet of water tubing is cheaper than 30 feet, so I'll have plenty...! Sammy is relegated to just being a dispenser of ice...
only thing we do with ours is pull the bucket once a month to clean and thaw it out... the ice dust tends to build up on the inside of the bucket every time the dispenser door opens... theres a filter on the bottom of the fridge that needs changed every 6 months...
For a long time, I never thought about this. Some of us who have been affected by Levaquin have developed more sensitivities to environmental issues, my nasal passages for example. The subject came up and so did the subject on Bar Rescue (not an avid watcher). My wife has a client that is a health inspector and apparently its a big issue in the food industry. I checked ours and it needed some cleaning and I do it ever since. It seems to be more at the thermal transition points, but when I went deep with our 15 year old unit it needed cleaning. Just a public service announcement. There's Google stuff out there, not a subject anyone cares to read or talk about.
the ones in the pictures is from doing the ice after filling the cups with drinks... the sugars grow the molds and mildew.. you can see the different colored stains left behind from the splash back... thats why you should always do the ice before filling the cups... also commercially they get used more frequently than your in home ones... which keeps them wet longer than your in home ones...
