Everest ETR1 36 In. Side Mount Undercounter Refrigerator, 1 Solid Door, 9 Cu. Ft., 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Worktop

SKUETR1 BrandEverest Refrigeration

The Everest Refrigeration ETR1 Undercounter Refrigerator

The Everest ETR1 is the single door entry point to the ET Series of side mount undercounter refrigerators, putting 9 cubic feet of chilled storage and a 16 gauge stainless steel worktop into one 35 5/8 inch cabinet that works as counter space and cold storage at the same time. Park it at a line station and the cook preps on top while the shift's backup stock waits behind the locking door below. The condensing unit rides in a housing at the left end and breathes through the front grille, so the cabinet backs flush against a wall or tucks under a counter in the standard 31 1/2 inch deep undercounter line.

Side Mounted Blizzard R290 Cartridge that Swaps without On-Site Brazing

The cooling system is a side mounted, self-contained and fully detachable Blizzard R290 condensing unit, and because the whole cartridge slides out, a service tech can replace the entire sealed system without on-site brazing instead of parking the box for days over a compressor problem. The 1/4+ horsepower compressor is rated at 1,926 BTU per hour and runs natural R290 refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential and a global warming potential of three, and the unit arrives pre-wired and ready to plug in on a standard 115V circuit.

Electronically commutated fan motors pull the cabinet down to temperature while drawing less power, and a full-length air duct keeps cold air circulating evenly instead of pooling near the evaporator. Defrost runs automatically on a time-initiated, temperature-terminated cycle, the self-maintaining condensate pan needs no external drain line or electric heater, the auto-reverse condenser fan supports compressor ventilation and helps keep the condenser coil clean, and pressure relief devices let staff re-open a just-closed door instead of waiting out the vacuum.

One Solid Stainless Steel Door with a Pre-Installed Lock

The 22 3/4 inch door is heavy duty stainless steel inside and out with 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation, so it shrugs off cart strikes the way lighter panels cannot. It self-closes through an adjustable torsion system for a positive seal, the snap-in magnetic gasket pops out for cleaning or replacement without tools, and frame heaters stop exterior moisture build up around the opening. The high strength recessed handle stays out of the walkway, and the pre-installed lock keeps stock secure after close.

9 Cu. Ft. Open Interior Under a 16 Gauge Stainless Steel Worktop

Behind the door is an open spaced interior with no walls between compartments, so pans and bins of prepped product slide in without fighting dividers. Two epoxy coated steel wire shelves sit on height adjustable stainless steel clips, and silicone coated, shatter-proof LED lighting throws bright, high color light through the cavity while adding almost no heat. The interior and exterior are heavy duty stainless steel with rounded corners, the bottom and rear are galvanized steel, and 2.5 inch high density polyurethane insulation fills the cabinet walls. The body stands 29 1/4 inches tall, or 34 1/4 inches on its four 5 inch swivel casters with locks on the front set, so it rolls out for cleaning and locks in place during service.

Digital Controller that Holds 33°F to 54°F with an Overheat Alarm

A multi-function digital controller with an easy to read LED display ships preset at 35°F and adjusts anywhere from 33°F to 54°F, covering everything from delicate produce to backup dairy. An audible overheat alarm watches the compressor and condenser coil and sounds before a developing problem turns into lost product. Everest backs the unit with 3 year parts and labor, 5 year electrical, and 10 year compressor coverage, supported through its service agent network.

If the stock setup does not match your station, Everest offers additional shelving, a 4 inch high stainless steel backsplash (35 1/2 inches long) for worktop applications, a stainless steel double overshelf that adds two raised 33 by 13.5 inch shelves above the worktop, a 3 inch caster assembly in place of the standard 5 inch set, and height adjustable interchangeable legs from 3.5 to 6 inches.

Keep in mind the ETR1 holds refrigerated temperatures only, with a floor of 33°F, so frozen product belongs in the matching ETF1 freezer instead. This is the narrowest cabinet in the side mount line; the two door ETR2 and ETWR2 and the three door ETR3 add capacity for bigger stations, while the ETR1-24 carries the same single door layout in a shallower 24 inch depth class for aisles that cannot give up a full depth cabinet. On its standard casters the unit stands 34 1/4 inches overall, so verify your counter clearance and use the optional 3 inch casters or adjustable legs where the line runs lower. Power is a standard 115V connection drawing 3.5 amps on a 9 foot cord, with no dedicated circuit needed.

    The Everest Refrigeration ETR1 Undercounter Refrigerator

    About Undercounter Refrigerators

    Commercial undercounter refrigerators keep ingredients cold and within reach at the station level, fitting neatly under existing counters and prep surfaces without taking up extra floor space. Restaurants, bars, delis, hotels, and food trucks all use them to add cold storage exactly where it's needed in a busy kitchen layout.

    Most kitchens stick with a solid door undercounter fridge, but there are other setups. Drawer models are faster on busy lines where staff need to grab ingredients quickly. Glass door units let you see what's inside without opening the door. If you need both cold and frozen storage in one spot, go for a combo unit with both sections in one cabinet.

    Most undercounter fridges stand 27 to 34 inches tall and run 27 to 30 inches deep, designed to fit under standard counter heights. Width varies by model, with common sizes ranging from 27 to 72 inches wide. Popular widths like 48 and 60 inch units give you more storage capacity while still fitting cleanly into your counter run.

    Common Types and Configurations

    • Standard Undercounter Refrigerator: A solid door unit designed to fit under standard counter heights. Available in single and multiple door configurations to fit different station widths and storage requirements.
    • Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator with Drawers: Replaces hinged doors with pull-out drawers for faster ingredient access during service. A popular choice on cook lines and prep stations where staff need to grab product quickly without crouching to open a full door.
    • Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator Glass Door: Features glass doors that allow staff to see stored product at a glance. Reduces unnecessary door openings and helps maintain consistent internal temperatures during busy service periods.
    • Commercial Undercounter Refrigerator Freezer Combo: Combines a refrigerated section and a frozen section in a single undercounter cabinet. Useful for stations that need both cold and frozen storage without adding a second unit.
    • Commercial Lowboy Refrigerator: A low-profile undercounter unit commonly used in bars and service stations. Designed to fit under lower counters while still providing reliable cold storage for bottles, garnishes, and prepped ingredients.

    What to Look at Before You Buy

    • Unit Dimensions: Measure your space before you order. Most undercounter fridges fit under standard 36 inch counters, but always check the height, width, and depth against your actual setup.
    • Door vs. Drawer: Standard doors are cheaper and give you full access. Drawer models cost more but speed up workflow on busy lines where staff need to grab ingredients fast.
    • Solid vs. Glass Door: Solid doors insulate better and hold temperature. Glass doors let you see inside and cut down on door openings during service. Pick what fits your workflow.
    • Refrigerator vs. Freezer Combo: If you need both cold and frozen storage, a combo unit saves space and cuts down on equipment. Check that each section hits the temperatures you need.
    • Compressor Location: Most undercounter units have the compressor on the left or right. Make sure there's enough clearance for airflow and that it won't block other equipment or cabinets.
    • Temperature Range: Look for units that hold 33°F to 41°F, even when loaded. If your kitchen gets hot, check the ambient rating on the spec sheet to make sure the unit can keep up.
    • NSF Certification: Many commercial undercounter refrigerators carry NSF certification confirming they meet health code standards. Check your local requirements before you buy.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What size commercial undercounter refrigerator do I need?

    Start with your counter space. Measure width, depth, and height where the fridge will go, and check those numbers against the spec sheet before you order. Most undercounter fridges fit under standard 36 inch counters, but heights can vary. For storage, figure out how much you need to hold at the station during a typical service. Pick a unit that covers that volume but isn't so big it strains the compressor.

    What is the difference between a commercial undercounter refrigerator and a worktop refrigerator?

    The difference is the top. A worktop fridge has a stainless steel surface for prepping, cutting, and assembly. An undercounter fridge slides under your existing counter, using the counter as its top. Both give you cold storage, but a worktop unit is freestanding with its own prep space, while an undercounter model fits into your current layout.

    Can a commercial undercounter refrigerator be used as a freezer?

    Standard undercounter fridges hold 33°F to 41°F and won't reach freezing. If you need frozen storage in the same footprint, get a dedicated undercounter freezer or a combo unit with both fridge and freezer sections in one cabinet.
