Refrigerant and Sealed-System Work

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
