Answer 2

Hi, I don't know about on a mini beer fridge. But we had something on top of our freezer for a few months and when I looked, water had pooled up underneath (which it stopped doing once I removed the item). Seeing as your TV will get hot and water and electrics don't mix, it might be better to get expert advice. Could you put a shelf (piece of wood) over the fridge and sit the TV on top of that?

Probably not very helpful but we don't want you getting electrified!:)

Answer 3

it would me more safe if you install a small shelf over the fridge to separate the tv base from it. this way both fridge and tv will get ample room for ventilation (which they both need cause both create a lot of heat).. Also it will reduce the risk of you spilling something accidently on tv while putting it in the fridge.

Answer 4

i wouldn't risk placing a TV directly on top of a fridge no matter how small they are. if you have no choice how about looking round for a small housing unit for the fridge and put the TV on top. then you can watch and drink with a peaceful mind!

Answer 5

practically speaking everyone tends to put their small screen TVs on the fridges (or on top of any such piece of furniture)... however, I would rather fix it on the wall with one of those swing brackets. That would take care of the SPACE problem as TV would be hanging from the wall, swing arm can give you the flexibility of watching the TV from any angle. It also takes care of the TV generating heat with fridge demanding to remain colder.. if there is any such logic since all fridges do emit emit heat anyway!

Answer 6

My parents have always had a tv on top of the fridge. It works great. (it is a full size fridge)...but no big deal. Just make sure the fridge is stable when the tv is on it.

Enjoy!!!!!

Answer 7

Yes but I would put it on a small stand (like legs,you could use the ceramic feet they put under plant pots)so as it is not directly on the fridge and not allowing air underneath

Answer 8

I was sitting on our bin and one of our bottles exploded. We kept them right next to the fridge.

However, I don't know if that had anything to do with the temperature. But if the TV warms up pretty quick then I'd say not to.
Is there anywhere else a bit more convenient you can put it?

Answer 9

if it is a mini fridge , then there's no problem .
but we should never place any gadget on big fridge as it gives out several infrared rays which r harmful.

but no problem with small beer fridge,dont worry.

Answer 10

And, of course, you'd never get rid of the fridge. Yeah, warm beer is not good...
I've heard that the magnetic fields of the two electric... things will interfere (as it is normal to happen) and will damage one of the two (or both of them). The information is not verified.
