How far away should I put my CRT television from a minifridge?

if it's left-right, then 15 cm should do it
if it's top-down, then 25 cm should do it

Okay, thank you a ton! Any other opinions?

Why would it matter?

All a fridge has in it is a motor, and they're usually at the bottom.

There's no way either device can permanently damage the other, and if the motor interferes with your CRT's scanning, that's how you know it needs to be further away.

my parents have an old tv on top of their fridge or right by it sometimes, in the kitcken for more than 15 years and it works like it's new( both the tv and the fridge) you should be fine

Well, I have previously discovered that placing my CRT to the side of it for about two weeks has caused a very slight black bulge of the edge and white fuzziness on that side of the screen. At least, that must be it. I don't think there could have been anything else. And it wasn't like that beforehand.

So I just want to be safe if I put it on top. I mean, fridges are magnetic after all, yeah? I will probably try it soon on the top, seperating it with a few things just to be safe, I don't really see why it would be damaged either, but like I said, just beimg safe since it seems to me like it was somehow damaged by sitting right next to the fridge (with not really any space at all in between).

No.

- There's a plastic magnet around the outside of the seal that holds the seal shut.
- There's a magnet and a coil inside the compressor, and that's it.

Other than those two, there are no magnets anywhere in a fridge.

The shell of the compressor is iron, which helps keep the magnetic field from the motor from getting out. Plastic magnets, as used in door seals and fridge magnets, are made of hundreds of tiny magnets that interfere with each other to strengthen the field in one single direction, and weaken it in every other direction. This means they can use less magnet for the same pull, which is cheaper; that it makes less magnetic mess is a happy side-effect.

Huh, interesting. So what I'm getting from this is that even if the fridge was responsible for messing up the side of the display that tiny bit, any significant magnetic force from the fridge would be too far away to do anything at all if I set the CRT on top? Thank you anon

just so you know, your tv produces a magnetic field, probably best to keep vhs tapes away from it
