If you’re moving houses, or shopping for new appliances, you might be wondering:
Full-size residential refrigerators weigh between 100 and 400 pounds, with an average weight of 250 pounds
On average, French Door refrigerators weigh 317 pounds, Side-by-Side refrigerators weigh 285 pounds, Top Freezer refrigerators weight 166 pounds, Bottom Freezer refrigerators weigh 214 pounds, and Mini fridges weight 60 pounds
A good general rule of thumb—refrigerators weigh approximately 12 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
So, if you have a fridge with 28 cubic feet of capacity, like this Samsung French Door model, it will weigh around 336 pounds
Now that you have a general idea of how much refrigerators weigh, let’s get into more specifics
In the following sections of this article, I provide the weights of 58 popular refrigerators across different brands, types, and sizes
Lastly, I explain how to choose the right refrigerator, so you aren’t lugging around excess weight!
Refrigerator Weight in Context
The weight of refrigerators varies by type, brand, and model
So, instead of just giving you averages, I analyzed 58 of the most popular refrigerators on the market right now
In the chart below, you’ll find the weight, capacity, and pounds per cubic foot of capacity for each model
You can click/tap the brand names to learn more about each fridge
You can also sort the columns if you’re looking for a specific brand or type of fridge
BrandTypeWeight (lbs)Weight (kg)Capacity (cuft )Pounds per Cubic Foot of Capacity
Currently, the most popular type of refrigerator on the market
The French Door fridge is generally marked by side-by-side double-doors on top for refrigeration, with one or two drawers on the bottom holding frozen goods
French Door refrigerators are the heaviest, ranging from 230 to 390 pounds with an average weight of 317 pounds
Side-by-side models have a freezer on one half and a fridge on the other
The refrigeration portion is generally on the right side, with the ice dispenser and freezer on the left
Side-by-side refrigerators weigh between 242 and 340 pounds with an average weight of 285 pounds
These fridges weigh an average of 12 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
These fridges weigh an average of 12 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
Classic Top Freezer Models
Top freezer refrigerators are generally smaller, lighter, and more appropriate for households with fewer than three people
They weigh between 117 and 220 pounds with an average weight of 166 pounds
Top freezer refrigerators weigh an average of 10 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
Bottom Freezer
Bottom freezer refrigerators, as the name suggests, are designed with the freezer on the bottom and fridge on top
These tend to be heavier than top freezer fridges
Bottom freezer refrigerators weigh between 119 to 288 pounds with an average weight of 215 pounds
They weigh an average of 11 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
Mini fridges are small and compact, and, as you probably guessed, are the lightest type of refrigerator
These models weigh between 22 and 95 pounds with an average weight of 60 pounds
Mini fridges weigh an average of 13 pounds per cubic foot of capacity
Factors Impacting Refrigerator Weight
Factors Impacting Refrigerator Weight
One of the most significant factors impacting refrigerators’ weight is the type
French door refrigerators, the most popular model on the market right now, typically weight over 300 pounds for about 25 cubic feet of capcity
For the same cubic feet, two-door side-by-side refrigerators are typically 30 to 40 pounds lighter (around 260 pounds) than French door models because they have fewer doors, drawers, and moving parts
Top freezer refrigerators are smaller and simpler than French door, and two-door models and typically weigh under 200 pounds
Again, your fridge should weigh between 10 and 12 pounds per cubic foot
Once you surpass 24 cubic feet, the weight jumps up because there are more drawers and doors involved in the construction
Another major factor contributing to the weight of a refrigerator is what’s in it
We’ve all felt the weight of lugging heavy bags of groceries from the car to the house
Remember that many of those heavy groceries are going to end up in the refrigerator, which weighs it down even more!
A 25 cubic feet refrigerator, like this Samsung one, can hold up to 25 bags of groceries
Lastly, older refrigerators tend to be heavier than newer ones
Weight in Context
A simple number, like 300 or 400 pounds, sounds rather heavy but also somewhat abstract
Is a 300-pound refrigerator too difficult to move?
It sounds heavy, but let’s compare the refrigerator weight to other heavy things to give you a frame of reference
Most refrigerators will handle sort of a like a small mattress, or a couple of small mattresses stacked on top of each other
Twin mattresses typically weigh around 45 pounds, so imagine a couple of twin mattresses stacked on each other that weigh 4 to 6 times that amount!
Unlike deadlifting or bench pressing 300 pounds, which is sleek, streamlined, and built specifically for lifting, the refrigerator is bulky and unwieldy
Tips for Moving a Refrigerator
Tips for Moving a Refrigerator
As you know by now, refrigerators are heavy, clunky, and awkward to move
This will not only lighten the load, but you don’t want food and loose shelves bouncing around when your fridge is in motion
Put perishables in a cooler with enough ice to keep them cool for the amount of time you’ll be fridge-less
Every refrigerator is different, so check your user manual to get the exact instructions for defrosting and disconnecting the water (if yours has a water dispenser)
Use moving tape to secure the doors shut and prevent the power cord and cooling tubes from dragging on the floor when you go to move the fridge
Measure the height, width, and depth of your refrigerator, as well as the hallways and doorways in your home
Remember, you can remove the doors in your home and on the fridge if necessary
Buy or rent an appliance dolly
If you need to get behind your refrigerator to clean, you can slide it forward on your own since most have wheels that go forward and backward
Otherwise, buy an appliance dolly with straps like this one on Amazon
If you don’t want to shell out cash for a dolly that you’ll only use a few times, you can rent one at U-Haul or from a local moving company
Slide the fridge out of the cutout and position the dolly on one of its sides
Never put the dolly on the front or back of a refrigerator
Never put the dolly on the front or back of a refrigerator
The back of the fridge has all sorts of compressors and cooling tubes that could be damaged by the dolly and won’t allow you to get a snug position
The front of the fridge is the lightest side, and the doors, handles, and water/ice dispensers will get in the way
Once the dolly is in position, wrap the strap around the fridge and secure it according to your dolly’s instructions
You want the dolly to bear the majority of the weight
Walk backward when moving the fridge because you won’t be able to see in front of you
Don’t try to be a hero and move a massive refrigerator on your own
If anything, your helper will prevent you from banging into walls and damaging your home or your fridge
Choosing the Right Refrigerator Size to Reduce Weight and Cost
Choosing the Right Refrigerator Size to Reduce Weight and Cost
Since refrigerators are heavy and expensive, you don’t want to buy more fridge than you need
We often overbuy perishables, don’t maximize fridge space, and buy and throw out things we don’t need
Choosing the right size refrigerator for your home can lower grocery bills and reduce food waste because you’ll purchase less and use what you have instead of letting that extra-large bag of salad spoil (again)
Before you even go to the store or look online, measure the width of doors, moving paths, and the refrigerator cutout in your kitchen (if you have one) to ensure you’re buying the appropriately sized refrigerator
You’ll need at least two inches of space between the hinge side of the fridge and the wall or cabinets to allow the door to open fully
Don’t be influenced by the refrigerator cutout into buying something bigger than you need!
People often measure the refrigerator cutout and then buy the biggest size that fits so that it has a nice, snug look
You have other design options for filling out space besides buying a bigger chill chest
Mini fridges weigh a lot less than full refrigerators, clocking in around 40 to 80 pounds, depending on the model
While we associate the “big fridge” with a level of status and adulthood, a single person home can often function quite well on a smaller fridge model with a detached freezer
They’re easier to move around, much cheaper, and with smaller storage space, you’ll buy and waste less food
Refrigerators weigh about 12 pounds per cubic foot, which comes out to between 250 and 350 pounds for French Door and Two-Door models, and 150-200 pounds for freezer-on-top models
Remember, don’t buy a larger refrigerator than you need!
You can keep its weight and your grocery costs down by going smaller
Always get help moving refrigerators, use appliance dollies, and measure doorways before getting your 300-pound object stuck in them!

How Long Do Dishwashers Last on Average?
The average weight of a refrigerator is about 250 pounds (lbs), ranging from 60 lbs to 350 lbs depending on the type of fridge in question
There are several types of refrigerators available on the market, each averaging at different weights
Mini fridges, which weigh an average of 60 lbs
Bottom Freezer fridges, which weigh an average of 214 lbs
Bottom Freezer fridges, which weigh an average of 214 lbs
French Door fridges, which weigh an average of 305-350 lbs
Side-by-Side fridges, which have a wide average of 290-420 lbs
While today’s technology and the use of more plastic has allowed for lighter fridges compared to decades prior, many modern styles have extra features, such as having a door within a door, that add considerable weight
The following table is based on research of 1,130 fridges from various brands, such as Whirlpool, LG, Samsung, Sub Zero, Frigidaire, Kenmore, GW, and more
Keep in mind that while the largest capacity refrigerators can be 33-36 cubic feet deep, our data does not refer to refrigerators beyond 30 cubic feet

As can be assumed by the name, the mini fridge is the smallest type of fridge available, averaging at only 60 lbs
By comparison, the largest fridge on our list has an average weight of 450 lbs
The two most popular fridge types are French door and Side-by-Side refrigerators – and they have considerably different weight averages
Side-by-side fridges are an average of 90 pounds heavier than French door refrigerators
The french door fridges fall in the middle of the weight range, whereas the weight of side by side refrigerator is the second heaviest on the market, carrying 90 lbs more than the french door ones
Because fridge weight also means more capacity, homeowners looking for a deeper fridge will be more satisfied with a side-by-side fridge
Similarly, Bottom Freezer fridges and Top Freezer fridges also show a drastic weight difference
The Bottom Freezer style weighs 230 lbs more on average than the Top Freezer style
Refrigerator Weight by Capacity (Cu FT)
The following information provides in-depth data analysis on the relationship of refrigerator size to weight for all models, sizes and weight by refrigerator type such as mini fridges, top-freezer, bottom-freezer and other types
Our team reviewed the specifications of 1120 popular and best-selling models from Homedepot, Best Buy and Amazon
There are more refrigerators on the market between 15 and approximately 32 cubic feet than there are below 15 cubic feet
The purpose of this chart is to present the most common weight-to-capacity range among refrigerators on the market
According to our data, the most common refrigerator is approximately 300 lbs and 23 cubic feet in capacity
Refrigerator Weight By Capacity Chart
Capacity by Cubic FeetAverage Weight4 cu ft50-65 lbs7-75 cu ft100-115 lbs10 cu ft130-150 lbs15 cu ft180-200 lbs17 cu ft 200-230 lbs18 cu ft 230-250 lbs20 cu ft 280-300 lbs21-22 cu ft 290-310 lbs25-26 cu ft325-370 lbs28 cu ft350-480 lbs30 cu ft350-550 lbs
If you are looking for a refrigerator with 15 cubic feet capacity, it will weigh somewhere between 180 lbs and 200 lbs, depending on the brand and type
If, instead, you need a fridge with a 20-cubic-foot capacity, it will weigh 280-300 lbs
It is important to note that while the weight and capacity of a fridge do not increase proportionally, there is a positive correlation between the two
As a rule, the heavier the fridge, the more capacity it will have—and vice versa
Therefore, the more members you have in your house, the heavier your fridge should be
A family of four, for instance, typically has a fridge with a capacity between 14 cubic feet (approximately 165 lbs) and 24 cubic feet (approximately 320 lbs)
Refrigerator Weight by Brands
The following table shows average refrigerator weights for each brand and type
It is based on a complete analysis of the top refrigerator brands including GE, KitchenAid, LG and Amana
The chart shows average weights, but it can be useful if you are wondering generally how heavy different types from each major brand weigh
Haier top freezers have the lightest average weight of all the brands
Sub Zero makes the heaviest side by side fridges – they have an average weight of 880 pounds
Sub Zero only makes premium, high-end refrigerators with quality parts using metal components rather than cheap plastic wherever possible
Comparing the lightest and heaviest fridge per style:
Bottom Freezer: Galanz’s fridges have the lightest average weight 116 lbs
Sub Zero, on the other hand, has the highest average weight at 630 pounds
French Door: Haier’s french door fridges tend to be the lightest with an average of 2006 lbs, and Monogram’s fridge is the heaviest average at 377 lbs
Side-by-Side: Maytag’s side-by-side fridges have the lowest average weight of 2435 lbs, and Sub Zero’s have the highest average weight of 880 lbs
Top Freezer: Haier and Galanz have the lightest average weight fridges at 112 pounds, and LG’s are the highest with an average weight of 190 lbs
You should know that while we do not show Whirlpool on our chart or table, a Whirlpool refrigerator weight is anything from 130 lbs to 360 lbs, depending on the type
How Much Does A Mini Fridge Weigh?
Mini fridges have an average weight of 60 lbs
They range from 22 lbs to 100 lbs, depending on the brand
I only look at a fridge’s size and capacity
Is it necessary that I consider its weight?
Weight is a significant factor when it comes to moving a fridge and maintaining floor stability
The heavier the fridge, the more manpower, equipment, and time it will take to transport it from one location to another, especially if stairs are involved
If you do not have the proper equipment or the necessary manpower, you may find yourself unable to move your fridge into your kitchen
But before you even get it to your kitchen, how do you know if your floor will be able to handle the extra weight?
A house’s dead load is how much weight the floor can carry without things inside the house (ie, no people or furniture inside)
A house’s live load is how much extra weight it can carry when there are things inside the house (ie, people and furniture)
You will need to know how much weight your floor can handle before you purchase a heavy fridge
Can Two People Lift A Fridge?
While it is easy for two people to handle a mini fridge, a large fridge at 800 lbs is a different story
For safety’s sake, do not handle any fridge above 60 lbs without a dolly
If you need to transport the fridge up a staircase, then do the following:
Balance the fridge on the dolly so that it does not wobble when you tip it back
Secure the fridge on the dolly with cords or straps
Usually, dollies come with a strap or two
Throw a blanket over the fridge to prevent scratching/scraping
Keep a 2-inch clearing between the fridge and any side walls or railings
Not only will this help prevent exterior damage to the fridge, but it will also allow you some wiggle room if you are going from one landing to another
If you are moving a fridge that has recently been used, ensure you do the following before hauling it:
Empty all contents out of the fridge
Defrost the freezer
Can You Lay Down A Fridge For Transport?
You should never lay your fridge on its side or back, especially when transporting it over long distances
This will prevent your fridge from working properly, if at all
If any of these parts are damaged, you will either need to pay for fixes or another fridge
Are you in the market for a new refrigerator in the kitchen?
Would you like to know how much a refrigerator weighs?
Do you get a chill when you think about a heavy fridge possibly ruining your kitchen floor?

You may be asking yourself how much does a refrigerator weigh, but this depends entirely on the type of refrigerator you are considering and what it is made from
The main deciding factor of a fridge’s weight tends to be its size, which is why mini-fridges are seeing a resurgence when it comes to space-conscious shoppers
It can be hard to know whether a fridge is heavy or not if you don’t know what the average fridge weights, fortunately, we have you covered
In terms of a full-size refrigerator with a freezer compartment, you can expect your average model to weigh somewhere between 180 to 280 pounds
For larger options such as a French door or a side-by-side refrigerator, the average refrigerator weight is anywhere between 250 to 350 pounds
The lightest fridge options out there, such as mini-refrigerators, will usually weigh around 30 to 50 pounds
This is perfect as a secondary storage option but may be too small for your main refrigerated goods storage method
Incredibly popular in kitchens where space is limited, top-freezer refrigerators are perfect for space-conscious shoppers
They feature the freezer at the top half of the refrigerator, with refrigerated goods being stored in the bottom compartment
Perhaps one of the biggest reasons these types of fridges are so popular is that they are incredibly inexpensive when compared to other variants out there
In terms of the average refrigerator weight, this type tends to be the lightest (aside from a mini-fridge) because of its smaller size
The freezer compartment at the top does make this model slightly top-heavy, but when compared to the weight of other fridge types, top freezer refrigerators are one of the lightest full-size options out there
Top Freezer Refrigerator with FlexZone™ – 1807 pounds
Top-Freezer – 173 pounds
The perfect middle ground between a top or bottom fridge and a French door model is side-by-side refrigerators
Featuring a 2-door style and a fantastic amount of storage space for refrigerated goods, these are incredible choices if you have enough room in your kitchen
Some of the top fridge innovations are most commonly found on side-by-side refrigerators such as ice-makers or even touch-screen water dispensers
Sadly, this means they tend to be slightly more expensive than some of the more standard refrigerator variants
Due to its side-by-side design, this type of refrigerator tends to offer the best storage for frozen goods than other options
The fridge is almost always split exactly in half for refrigerated and frozen goods, so you won’t be running out of room any time soon
However, this added storage space does come with a heavier weight than most other fridge/freezer models out there
If you don’t mind a heavier refrigerator, this may be an excellent choice for your next home renovation
Examples of a side-by-side refrigerator
Side-by-Side Refrigerator with Family Hub™ – 2535 pounds
Side-by-Side Refrigerator – 304 pounds
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerators
An alternative to top freezer models, bottom-freezer refrigerators are exactly what you would expect from the name – a fridge where the freezer is on the bottom, and the refrigerated goods are at the top
These types of freezers are perhaps most popular in Europe, especially the UK, where the most inexpensive fridge options will feature this design
They, however, tend to be slightly more expensive than top-freezer models in the US
The typical weight of these types of fridges isn’t too different from a top-freezer model
But as you might expect, the weight distribution is slightly different
As the freezer is found towards the bottom, these tend to be bottom-heavy refrigerators
If you are seeking a cheap and size-conscious design, then bottom-freezer refrigerators are one of the best options for you
Examples of a Bottom – Freezer Refrigerator
Examples of a Bottom – Freezer Refrigerator
Bottom-Freezer Fridge – 226 pounds
Bottom-Freezer Refrigerator – 280 pounds
French Door Refrigerators

Quickly becoming one of the most popular refrigerator types out there, French-door refrigerators are perfect for those seeking style
They provide a luxurious look that other types of refrigerators just cannot compete with, but this does mean they tend to be slightly more expensive
In terms of storage space, French door refrigerators are practically unbeaten
Due to their large size and two-door design, they are one of the largest fridge types available
However, if you can spare the space and don’t mind a heavier design, then few refrigerator styles can compete with these
Offering lots of storage space and looking fantastic too, a French door fridge is truly one of the best options out there
Examples of French door fridges
Large Capacity 3-Door French Door Refrigerator – 305 pounds
French Door Refrigerator – 327 pounds
Mini-Fridge
Mini-Fridge
If you’re looking for a small addition to your storage capabilities, or you just want to add a refrigerator to another room, then mini-fridges might be exactly what you are looking for
As their name might suggest, they have the lowest typical refrigerator weight on this list
This is partly due to how small they are, but also due to the fact they rarely combine both a refrigerator and freezer design
Perhaps the biggest selling point of mini-fridges, outside their small size, is how inexpensive they can be
This makes these incredible options for anyone who wants to add extra storage to their home without breaking the bank
Their light design also means they are extremely portable compared to other refrigerator types out there
However, they perhaps aren’t the best choice for your main storage option as you usually won’t be able to fit all your groceries within one
Examples of a mini-fridge refrigerator
Insignia™ – 17 Cu Ft
Insignia™ – Retro 31 cu
Mini fridge – 53 pounds
Mini fridge – 53 pounds
Factors That Make Up A Refrigerator’s Weight?
There is a range of different factors that come into play when it comes down to how much a refrigerator will weigh
Metal and ceramic designs tend to be far heavier than most plastic options out there
This is mainly because you can generally control the weight of plastics because it is a man-made material, and there is a range of different plastics out there
You also have to consider the fridge’s contents, including food and even the shelving type used
Some refrigerators will use glass shelving, whereas others will stick to a light plastic design
This can truly make a difference when it comes to your refrigerator weight
Typically though, the smaller your chosen fridge is, the lighter it will be
Anyone looking for the lightest options should check out mini-refrigerators or even some of the fridge and freezer combo styles out there
Whether you’re renovating your kitchen or installing a new refrigerator, chances are there will come a point in your life where you need to move your fridge
As most modern refrigerators weigh more than you might expect, it can be difficult to move them
Before you even try to move your refrigerator, you will want someone beside you that you can trust
Moving most modern refrigerators is a two-person job as your typical fridge will weigh anywhere between 200 to 300 pounds or 90 to 135 kilograms
You will also want to empty your refrigerator of any contents and even remove its shelves if they are glass or add a lot of weight to your fridge
Using twine or similar material to keep your fridge doors closed is another recommended safety measure before you start moving your refrigerator
The best tool to use when moving a heavy refrigerator is a moving dolly
Moving dollies slot safely under your fridge and give you the leverage needed to raise it off the ground
You can then wheel your refrigerator to where it needs to go without relying too much on heavy lifting from yourself
Selecting The Right Refrigerator Size To Reduce Weight And Cost
One of the main reasons you may be tempted to purchase a smaller fridge with a low refrigerator weight is that they tend to be cheaper than their larger counterparts
For example, mini-fridges and top-freezer fridges are some of the cheapest options out there, but also the lightest
The main reason for this is that smaller refrigerators tend to be made out of cheaper materials, and they will use less due to their size
This means manufacturers can offer you budget options that still offer fantastic refrigerating capabilities
Anyone who is on a strict budget should be sure to check out bottom and top freezer fridges as they tend to be the perfect balance between price and functionality
However, if you are looking to splash out, then keep French door and side-by-side refrigerators in mind!
How much extra weight does the ice maker add?
Most ice makers found within refrigerators shouldn’t be too heavy, but they do add weight that you might not need
Your average ice maker will usually weigh around 20 pounds or 9kg which isn’t the heaviest of additions to a modern fridge
How much does a fridge compressor weigh?
As technology has improved, a typical fridge compressor has gotten slightly lighter than they once were
As a result, your average fridge compressor will weigh anything between 12 to 20 pounds or around 6 to 10 kilograms
How much weight can my refrigerator shelf hold?
The weight your refrigerator shelf can hold is completely dependant on the model and the design of the fridge itself
In general, you can expect most refrigerator shelves to offer support for weights up to 5o pounds, or 22kg
Will a heavy refrigerator damage my floors?
Most modern refrigerators are designed in a way that protects your floor from as much damage as possible
However, if your fridge is extremely heavy, then it may damage your floor in some ways, depending on the material
What style of refrigerator weighs the least?
In terms of general weight, most bottom freezer refrigerators weigh less than some expensive models out there, such as a French door refrigerator
There are a few variations to this, but if you are just looking for lightweight options, then a bottom freezer refrigerator may be the best suited to your needs
Now you know the main differences between some of the top refrigerator types out there, choosing the right one for your needs shouldn’t be too difficult
Refrigerator weight can largely impact your chosen type, so be sure to consider how heavy you want your chosen fridge to be
If you’ve been wondering how much a fridge weighs, I hope you’ve gotten the answer you needed!
The average refrigerator weight ranges depending on the type of fridge
