You can buy a refrigerator with the freezer compartment at the bottom if you want It just seems easier to me to have the freezer compartment at the top of the refrigerator if you want to see what's in there without bending over
Just de frost the refrigerator.
Some believe it's because hot air travels upwards and that is why the freezer is not at the bottom. But, it because it makes it easier to organize and find your stored frozen food.
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
Bottom so less cold air escapes and most people use refrigerator more than freezer which will require less bending over.
My freezer is at the bottom. The freezer being at the top isn't universal, it was just a common design for a time.

Having the freezer at the top of the refrigerator allows cold air, which is denser and tends to sink, to flow into the refrigerator compartment more easily. This design also makes it more convenient to access frequently used items in the refrigerator.
All of the major brands of refrigerator freezers have models with a freezer on the bottom. The models include Maytag MBR2256KES , GE GBSC0HCXWW , LG Electronics LBC22520ST , KitchenAid KBLC36FTS, Viking VCBB536RSS, Whirlpool GB2FHDXWB, and Amana ABL2222FES. There are many, many more.
It's not always. Many freezers are on bottom or side-by-side with the fridge.
