Alfresco 42" Under-Grill Refrigerator ARXE-42

The Alfresco ARXE-42 is a restaurant-inspired, all-weather outdoor refrigerator built to slide directly beneath a 42-inch Alfresco grill head or into any 42-inch outdoor kitchen island cutout. Its 7.25 cubic feet of capacity is split between a shelved door section and a two-drawer marinating section, so proteins, sauces, and beverages stay organized and genuinely cold even when your patio is not.

Alfresco was the first manufacturer to build a true all-weather outdoor refrigerator, and the ARXE-42 remains one of the most capable units in the category. A 1,000 BTU refrigeration system paired with a commercial fan-driven fin evaporator holds temperatures anywhere from 27°F to 56°F, and the Flash Recovery System pulls the interior back down to temperature quickly after the door has been open through a long cookout. Commercial polyurethane shot-in-place foam insulation and all-304-stainless construction inside and out mean it is built to the same standard as the grill above it.

Alfresco 42" Under-Grill Refrigerator ARXE-42 - 7.25 Cu. Ft., NSF Certified, 304 Stainless Steel

Frequently Asked Questions

What cutout does the ARXE-42 need?

42 1/2" wide by 21 3/4" high by 23 1/4" deep. The unit itself measures 44 11/16"W x 24 3/16"H x 26 15/16"D.

Confirm those against the current spec sheet before framing, since the cutout has to be right the first time in masonry.

Does it really go under a grill?

Yes. It is built to slide directly beneath a 42-inch Alfresco grill head, or into any 42-inch island cutout on its own.

That places cold storage directly under the cooking surface instead of across the patio.

How is the interior laid out?

7.25 cubic feet split between a shelved door section and a two-drawer marinating section.

The door section has one adjustable stainless wire shelf. The two drawers take removable NSF food pans, so proteins can marinate in the pan and go straight to the grill.

How cold does it get?

27°F to 56°F, digitally adjustable, which is a wider band than most outdoor refrigerators.

That range covers raw proteins at the bottom and wine or produce at the top.

Do I need to leave air space around it?

No. The ARXE-42 is fully front-breathing, drawing air in and exhausting it through the front, so it can be enclosed on the sides and back in a masonry or framed island.

How is this different from the ARXE-42C?

This is the built-in model that drops into an island cutout. The ARXE-42C is the cart version, which carries an Alfresco grill head on a freestanding refrigerated cart.

Is it NSF certified?

Yes, and the marinating drawers include removable NSF food pans.

What keeps it cold when the patio is 100 degrees?

A 1,000 BTU all-weather refrigeration system paired with a commercial fan-driven fin evaporator, backed by commercial polyurethane shot-in-place foam insulation.

Alfresco was the first manufacturer to build a true all-weather outdoor refrigerator, and this platform is the result.

What happens after the door has been open for a while?

The Flash Recovery System pulls the interior back down to temperature quickly, which matters during a long cookout when the door is opened constantly.

What is it made of?

304 stainless steel inside and out, built to the same standard as the grill head above it.

How do I set and check the temperature?

Digital controls with a lighted display, plus door-activated interior lighting so you can see inside at night.
