Yes, you can. It will work well outside. There are a couple of considerations, though. It's a good idea to keep the unit under a cover and not just "out in the air" on the back patio or the like. It isn't a good idea to expose it to sun or weather. UV light can damage the door seals, and you don't want the unit rained on. Keep it sorta clean and clear around the unit. It might present a haven or "hang out" for local critters like rodents or some insects. Spiders like fridges, too. The warmth of the compressor is a magnet to some of these and to other not-so-friendly neighbors.

There are three main considerations:

High humidity areas, or constant rain/snow may cause the fridge to badly rust.

In extreme cold, the temperature may cause the compressor motor and its lubrications to freeze up and has been known to cause the coolant propellant to burst the pipes when expanding from the freeze.

Lastly, in many rural areas, vermin have been known to seek refuge through the back of the fridge. It may come as a shock when you bring the fridge back inside after a winter of cold, only to find something has given birth during the night and is now camping out inside your home!
