At least you can unscrew it. My landlord put the pipe for the Lüftung where the fridge is supposed to go.
Just screw it.
Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it
Have you tried some WD-40?
Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.
Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.
You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.
This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.
I think OP knows they can unscrew it.
That’s probably why it’s only ‘mildly’ infuriating.
The endless stream of repeated “unscrew it” comments is also mildly infuriating.
You mean mildly hilarious
I’m proud of you for only being mildly infuriated. I would smash it with a fucking hammer.
Or you could unscrew the fucking thing and move it somewhere else, but I’ll let you sort that out with your anger management therapist.
And the fridge is just a hair too tall to slide under the vent hood, so you can’t even go around it.
There’s so many things that are mildly infuriating here. And taken all together…. Still mildly infuriating.
Quality post. I’m gonna kick back and be grateful I don’t have any appliances to move in my near future.
Maybe it’s just tge perspective, but it looks like you could unscrew it, move the fridge in and then put it back in.
Probably can’t open the freezer with it in the way, or real close lol

Yeah, you can even screw it back on after!

"The previous owner of this condo screwed a spice rack into the studs. Now I can’t remove my broken refridgerator…
Putting the oven right up against the fridge is the real problem here.
Seems extremely efficient to me.
I have no idea what I’m doing. Please say what you mean.
When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.
I know it can lower the lifespan of the fridge, but unsure if there’s more than that!
Thanks I hadnt heard that
I mean, just unscrew the screws?
I dunno man. Sounds mildly infuriating to have to go get a screwdriver, come back and try unscrewing it only to realize you need a power tool because it is in the studs. Go get the drill, damnit battery is dead. Damnit extra battery is dead because I hardly use this damn thing.
I rely on ratcheting screwdrivers because I won’t be assed over batteries.
If the battery for your impact driver (not drill, BTW) isn’t shared with a bunch of other tools from the same brand, you’re doing it wrong.
You know, that’s true actually - I retract my statement
Stove doesn’t have 1.5ft clearance on either side, not up to code
Can’t say I’ve ever seen a kitchen stove with 1.5ft of clearance in any home.
I like some electrical codes, despite your fantabulizing, minimizing fire is cool. I used to work in disaster relief and it is so hellish to see families whose homes have been destroyed
What are they cooking with they need to put that into a stud? Was it common for them to set their tungsten rolling pin atop and then hang their lead apron from the edge? Did they have a recipe that calls for a pinch of neutron star?
Mounting your spice rack to the studs is just sage advice. Otherwise, you’re putting the structural integrity at risk, and if that fails, you’re in for a bad thyme. Trust me, this happened to me once. There was still paprika in my grout when I moved out. And to add salt to the wound, the landlord made me pay for the damage.
Allspice racks mounted tomatoes would require your landlord to cumin to the kitchen to at least approve the modification.
I’ll get my mace.
Its mounted into TWO studs
Gotta do some pullups on this thing.
That must be where they placed the weight of their sins
