so unscrew it. why is this such a huge problem?
It’s load bearing
load bearing spices actually sounds like a pretty slick band name
I think OP knows they can unscrew it.
That’s probably why it’s only ‘mildly’ infuriating.
I dunno, it’s kinda weird that they mention it’s “into the studs” as if it makes it a load-bearing spice rack. Just a weirdly irrelevant thing to say, makes me suspicious that OP thinks anything screwed into studs has to stay there forever or the house falls down.
I imagined it was because they wanted to use the fridge as a battering ram to knock it out of the wall or simply rip it down with their bare hands but alas the studs won out.
The endless stream of repeated “unscrew it” comments is also mildly infuriating.
You mean mildly hilarious
This post is mildly infuriating. Unscrewing it is not even an “easy fix” it’s just plain and simple what you do.
Put it in the square hole
I loved this so much I went into your profile and upvoted some other comments.
If only there was some kind of solution to be found.
What you don’t have a screwdriver?
This is clearly a load bearing spice rack.
Yes, it’s mainly ground spices.
Unscrew it. Throw it away. Keep your spices away from light and air.
But it’s in the studs /s
Have you tried some WD-40?
Tear down the house.
At least you can unscrew it. My landlord put the pipe for the Lüftung where the fridge is supposed to go.
Oh no, not the Lüftung again!
Ventilation, in German
I had a feeling (after Luft) - it just looked funny.
Attack of the Luftung! More at 11
Maybe it’s just tge perspective, but it looks like you could unscrew it, move the fridge in and then put it back in.
Step 1: Re-hinge the fridge doors so they open the other way.
Step 2: Back the fridge into the corner first, then pivot to the right until seated.
You can tell by the cabinetry, they had a fridge in there already, possibly one taller than this.

Yeah, you can even screw it back on after!

"The previous owner of this condo screwed a spice rack into the studs. Now I can’t remove my broken refridgerator…
Just screw it.
Start with some wine, maybe a back rub. Get it all relaxed and then just slide into it
Nah it would still be occupying the same space as the fridge
The floor is really ugly right there but the fridge can go in a different spot. I already have enough drywall work
But why can’t you just remove it? It being mounted into the studs isn’t any different than any other spot, it’s just more secure.
I wouldn’t be tackling drywall work if I were him. Figuring out how to turn screws has completely halted this fridge operation.
Hey I just took a picture and shitposted
