Before you start wrapping your new refrigerator, look behind it to see if there are external condenser coils, where it can dump heat energy. If no coils there, check to see if they are down in the compressor area. If they aren't there, then they are built into the walls, back and top of your unit. These areas will not feel warm unless your compressor has been running a bit. I have an IR non-contact thermometer (Harbor Freight $10) and when my unit has been running a while, these areas are very easy to measure.
If you wrap a refrigerator that has internal coils, you will drastically lower its efficiency.
