A:  No, the GTS18HGNRWW would not work for the garage. You would need a garage-ready fridge that's designed and extensively tested for use in a garage environment, performing in ambient temperatures from 38°F to 110°F. We don't recommend installing non-garage-ready refrigerators where temperatures will go below 60°F.
