Can a Refrigerator be next to a heat water heater?

The refrigerator is a heat pump, taking heat from the inside and discharging it via the coils on the back of the cabinet. The coils lose heat mostly by air circulation. If you restrict the air circulation, the refrigerator will not work as well, since it cannot easily dump the heat it is transferring into the atmosphere. The baseboard heater will be creating hot air. If the hot air circulates behind the refrigerator, then the 'fridge will be trying to dump its hot air into another hot air stream. Ideally, the refrigerator should get an unobstructed flow of room temperature air. Worst case, the 'fridge motor will run for much longer than normal, and will drive up your power bill.


Since bacteria can't survive in cold conditions will an even colder refrigerator prevent more food spoil?

Bacteria can and do survive cold conditions. They just don't grow. But it is true that a refrigerator set around 36°F will keep food longer than if it were set at 40°F.


Will turning off my refrigerator damage it?

Just turning it off, no.However some models of refrigerator might be damaged if they are turned off then immediately turned back on. Its always best if you do turn a refrigerator off to wait a minimum of 20 minutes before turning it back on.The other way a refrigerator can be damaged by being turned off is if it will be left off several day or longer. This will allow fungi and bacteria to bloom on all interior surfaces. When you next open the refrigerator it will be a mess of multicolor growths and will have an overwhelming stink, while this can be cleaned off it may leave permanent stains on the plastic surfaces. Should you plan on turning a refrigerator off for an extended period, completely empty it then clean all surfaces with a disinfectant to kill all fungal spores and bacteria. You might want to repeat this cleaning once or twice a day for a few days after actually turning off the refrigerator to make sure nothing was missed.
