YES.
We've had our microwave next to the fridge for 20 years, and except for a healthy green glow at night, it hasn't affected our health or harmed the appliances!
Seriously, it is safe.

My microwave is in a built in cabinet but it is beside the refrigerator.
I have never had a problem with it & my husband has been in the kitchen business for over 30 yrs, so I think you will be okay.

Give the 10 to # 2. and it was a cute, non offensive bit of humor.
There is absolutely nothing to state that matters where the two appliances are,,,,other than the most efficient use of space, physical energy expended, and personal convenience to you.

It is safe, unless you are obsessed with heating and eating, then it ought to be across the room from the fridge, so you will get some exercise, between meals.

There is no reason that the two cannot be side by side. The only problem is connecting them to the same circuit. They should be connected to individual circuits or the breaker will trip from overload.

Mine is above my stove top next to the refrigerator and it hasn't been a problem.

Not gonna smart off, mine is right beside the fridge and there's not a single problem associated with it.

I'm confused as to why it wouldn't be safe.
