Magnets Adhering to Stainless Steel Appliances

Sometimes magnets do not "stick" to the front of some refrigerator. This explains why.

Many appliances today are made to look like stainless steel but are actually a painted metal surface that is magnetic. And, a number of stainless steel appliances are non-magnetic due to the addition of nickel.

That said, they usually only have a steel door meaning the sides are magnetic.
