Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work
Refrigerant must be recovered before a refrigerator or freezer is scrapped; the final disposer in the disposal chain is responsible for recovery, and some municipalities will not pick up appliances until it has been removed. Source: U.S. EPA - Appliance Disposal
Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature
