Scratch & dent refrigerators

Refrigerators

French door, side-by-side, top and bottom freezer refrigerators from name brands. Most units carry cosmetic marks from shipping or showroom handling — dents, scuffs or a scratched panel — and are tested for cooling and ice/water function before they hit the floor.

Buying guidance

Before you buy a refrigerator

Measuring wrong is the most common reason an appliance goes back. If you are not sure, text us the dimensions of your space and we will check them against the unit before you commit.

Text us your measurements
  • 01

    Measure the opening width, depth and height — then measure the doorway and hallway the unit has to pass through. A standard 36-inch fridge will not fit through a 32-inch door without removing the doors.

  • 02

    Leave about an inch of clearance on the sides and top for airflow, and check that the door has room to swing fully open against an adjacent wall or cabinet.

  • 03

    A water and ice dispenser needs a water line. If your kitchen does not have one, plan for a line to be run or choose a unit without a dispenser.

  • 04

    Check where the cosmetic damage is on the listing. Damage on a side panel usually disappears once the unit is between cabinets; damage on a door is visible every day.

Questions

Refrigerators FAQs

What does scratch and dent mean?

A scratch & dent appliance is a unit with cosmetic damage but no functional defect. The damage usually happens in shipping, in a warehouse, or on a showroom floor — a dented side panel, a scratched door, or scuffed trim. The appliance still works as designed. Because retailers cannot sell a marked unit at full price, it is sold at a discount.

Are KT Appliances' appliances tested?

Yes. Appliances are tested for function at the warehouse before they are listed for sale. Washers are run through a wash cycle, dryers are checked for heat and tumble, refrigerators are checked for cooling, and dishwashers are checked for fill and drain. Each listing describes both the cosmetic condition and what was tested.

Is a warranty available on KT Appliances appliances?

1-year warranty options are available on qualifying appliances. Coverage is not automatic on every unit and terms vary by appliance, so ask about warranty options for the specific unit you are buying before you complete the purchase.

Does KT Appliances deliver?

Yes. Local delivery is available from our East Stroudsburg warehouse, and same-day delivery may be available for an additional charge. Delivery pricing depends on distance, the appliance, and what services you need. Call or text 973-519-9717 with your ZIP code for a delivery quote.

Does KT Appliances haul away old appliances?

Yes. Appliance haul-away is available, so your old unit can be removed when the new one is delivered. Let us know when you schedule delivery so the crew arrives prepared for it.
