Insulation betweem separate Fridge and Freezer

[Jim30]

Dear all

I need to ask some basic information:

I have a separate fridge and freezer units stack on top of each other (fridge on freezer). the first freezer that I bought did not freeze and the guy who replaced it suggested that I should place some wood between the two of them to stop electrical interference?

My questions is whether this a) necessary and b) if so how thick does the wood need to be between the fridge and the freezer?

Many thanks in advance!

it has nothing to do whit the electrical, the condensor behind the to units needs enough cooling, see you have ventilation on the back.

So you are saying that I do not need the wood and I can just put the fridge on top of the freezer as long as there is ventilation at the back?

Yep, and even better if you can keep the temperature of the two condensers apart. what i mean is that the warm temp of the condenser below may not overheat the condenser on top
a small computerfan works great

Why did the chap suggest putting the wood in then?

Probably because he is as thick as two planks

Ok great that saves me a lot of hassle I shall just put one on top of the other!
