As someone who has had to build Mains-operated products for use around
the world, I would like to interject here that standard voltage in the
British Isles, and some of their former holdings, was 240 volts, not
220. 220 was found on the Continent and in plenty of other places around
the world. The harmonization of standards in the '90s split the
difference to 230v. That British refrigerator might be 240, it might be
230, but it would not be 220 unless it was intended for use elsewhere.

This might not make any difference, I know nothing about the voltage
compliance of a refrigerator. I'm just tossing out a bit of
information.
