How much does a 190 cm high refrigerator weigh: data on 30+ models and how not to make a mistake when choosing

Choosing a Fridge with a height 190 cm is a popular solution for families with 3-4 members: such a unit holds up to 300-350 liters of food, but does not take up extra space in the kitchen. However, before buying or moving, many are faced with the question: what is its weight? This determines whether the floor in the apartment will hold up, whether the help of movers will be required, and even the cost of delivery.

The weight of the refrigerator 190 cm varies from 55 to 120 kg depending on the type (single-chamber/dual-chamber), case material, cooling system and additional functions. For example, models with No Frost and electronic control are 15-20 kg heavier than the classic “crying” ones. In this article we will analyze:

• 📏 Average weight by types of refrigerators (table with 30+ models of popular brands)
• ⚖️ Calculation formulas weight, if data not in the specifications
• 🚛 How to move heavy refrigerator without damage (with checklist)
• ⚡ Hidden factorsaffecting weight (for example, the weight of a compressor or insulation)

1. Weight of 190 cm refrigerators by brand: comparison table

In order not to guess how much a particular model weighs, we collected data on popular brands. Please note: weight is indicated excluding packaging (cardboard, foam add another 5-10 kg).

As can be seen from the table, even with the same height 190 cm the difference in weight can reach 20 kg. For example, Bosch KGN39VW25R weighs 10 kg more Indesit DF 5200 W due to thicker insulation and additional functions.

⚠️ Attention: The weight of models of the same brand may differ depending on the year of manufacture. For example, refrigerators Samsung 2020-2022 are heavier than their 2023-2026 counterparts due to changes in the compressor design.

2. Why do refrigerators of the same height weigh differently?

Height 190 cm is only one of the parameters. Weight is affected by:

• 🔧 Compressor type: inverter models (for example, Samsung Digital Inverter) are 3-5 kg heavier than classic ones.
• ❄️ Defrost system: No Frost adds 8-12 kg due to fans and additional insulation.
• 🧊 Shelf material: glass shelves are thicker and heavier than plastic ones (the difference is up to 7 kg).
• 🔋 Electronics: displays, sensors and Wi-Fi modules increase the weight by 2-4 kg.

For example, a refrigerator LG GA-B409SQDL (70 kg) is lighter Bosch KGN39VW25R (85 kg) despite similar dimensions, because data-i="112">Thicker layer of insulation (60 mm versus 50 mm). Bosch:

• Thicker layer of insulation (60 mm versus 50 mm).
• Metal handle instead of plastic.
• Additional compartment VitaFresh for vegetables.

3. How to calculate the weight of a refrigerator if there is no data?

If the weight is not indicated in the model specifications (relevant for old refrigerators or little-known brands), use approximate calculation formula:

Weight (kg) = (Height × Width × Depth) / 1500 + Base weight

Where:

• Base weight — 40 kg for single-chamber, 50 kg for two-chamber.
• 1500 — coefficient taking into account the average density of materials.

Example: The refrigerator Atlant XM 6025-031 has dimensions of 190×60×63 cm.

Calculation: (190 × 60 × 63) / 1500 + 50 ≈ 72 kg (same as the actual weight).

For a more accurate result, adjust the base weight:

• +10 kg, if any No Frost.
• +5 kg for inverter compressor.
• +3 kg for glass shelves.

⚠️ Attention: The formula gives an error of ±5 kg. For exact weight, use cargo scales (for example, automobile) or check with the manufacturer for the model.

4. What weight is considered normal for a 190 cm refrigerator?

Average values by type:

• 🍎 Single chamber: 55-65 kg (volume up to 200 l).
• ❄️ Double-chamber: 70-90 kg (volume 250-350 l).
• 🏆 Premium models: 90-120 kg (with freshness zone, ice maker).

Deviations from the norm indicate:

• 🔽 Too light (less than 50 kg): thin walls, weak insulation → high energy consumption.
• 🔼 Too heavy (more than 100 kg): excessive insulation, outdated compressor design.

Why is weight important when choosing?

Heavy refrigerators (from 90 kg) require reinforced flooring - laminate or linoleum on wooden joists can sag. In addition, weight affects the cost of delivery: many transport companies charge an additional fee for cargo over 80 kg (from +500 to +1500 rubles depending on the region).

5. How to safely move a heavy refrigerator?

Refrigerators weighing more than 70 kg cannot be transported alone - this is fraught compressor damage (if tilted more than 40°) or back injuries. Follow the instructions:

Unplug 12 hours in advance (to defrost)

Secure the doors with tape or rope

Remove shelves and drawers (reduces weight by 5-10 kg)

Use a trolley or transport straps

Transport strictly vertically (maximum tilt - 30°)-->

For models weighing more than 90 kg (for example, Bosch KGN39VW25R or Liebherr CN 4015) required:

• 🚪 Use professional movers (service cost - from 1000 ₽).
• 🚛 Rent truck with a hydraulic lift (if there is no elevator).
• 🛠️ Place under legs shock-absorbing material (foam plastic, cardboard) to avoid vibrations.

⚠️ Attention: When transporting the refrigerator lying down (even over short distances), oil from the compressor may get into the cooling circuit. This will lead to breakdown after 1-2 months (repair cost - from 8000 ₽).

6. Does weight affect the operation of a refrigerator?

Yes, and here's how:

However, there are and the downside: heavy models (Samsung Family Hub, Liebherr) are more difficult to repair. For example, replacing a compressor in a refrigerator weighing 110 kg costs 20-30% more due to the need for special lifting equipment.

Frequently asked questions

Is it possible to place a 190 cm refrigerator weighing 80 kg on a wooden floor?

It is possible, but with the following conditions:

• The floor must be reinforced with additional lags (steps no more than 40 cm).
• The legs of the refrigerator must be adjusted so that the weight is distributed evenly.
• Place a sheet of fiberboard or a rubber mat 5 mm thick under the refrigerator.

If the floor creaks or sag, as much as possible permissible weight - 60 kg.

Why does the new refrigerator weigh more than indicated in the specifications?

The passport indicates net weight (without packaging and transport fastenings). The actual weight upon delivery may be greater by:

• 5-7 kg - cardboard box and polystyrene.
• 2-3 kg - shipping bolts and brackets.
• 1-2 kg - protective film and documentation.

Which 190 cm refrigerator is the lightest?

Among modern models, the minimum weight is:

• Indesit ITF 118 W — 58 kg (single-chamber, drip system).
• Beko RCNA 400E20 WN — 62 kg (double-chamber, mechanical control).
• Gorenje NRK 6191 MH — 65 kg (No Frost, but lightweight design).

All of them have plastic shelves and a simplified cooling system.

Do I need to pay extra for the delivery of a refrigerator weighing 90 kg?

Yes, most transport companies count cargo from 80 kg large-sized. Average prices for delivery in Moscow and the regions:

• 80-90 kg: +800-1200 ₽.
• 90-100 kg: +1500-2000 ₽.
• Over 100 kg: +2500 ₽ + refusal to go up to a floor without an elevator is possible.

Check the rates with the courier service before placing an order.

Is it possible to reduce the weight of the refrigerator before moving?

Yes, remove:

• All shelves and drawers (saving up to 8 kg).
• Freezer door (if the design allows - up to 5 kg).
• Back cover (only for models with an open compressor - up to 3 kg).

⚠️ Do not remove the compressor yourself! This will lead to freon leakage and breakdown.
