The fan will spin slower, attempt to pull more current than it would at 60 Hz, and may therefore overheat (or blow a breaker).

Will a 120V 60Hz refrigerator operate properly with 120V 50Hz electrical supply?

Answer Possibly. The device will not be harmed, but the fan motors and compressor will run slower making it operate below its intended levels. It will not work as wekk on 50hz as it did on 60hz, but it should work. If it has a ice maker with a motorized timer, that will not work correctly. The timer will turn at a different speed altering the timing.Another AnswerI ran my Canadian 120-V / 60-Hz fridge-freezer for years in the UK, using a 230:120-V transformer at 50 Hz.
