What is the standard height for a refrigerator receptacle outlet?
Saturday, January 8, 2022
There is no code-mandated or industry standard for the height of a refrigerator wall receptacle outlet. But, because a refrigerator is often between an end wall on one side and base cabinets on the other, a higher wall receptacle makes it easier to reach around and unplug without pulling the refrigerator all the way out. We most often see the refrigerator receptacle placed at the same height as adjacent countertop receptacles.
