Can you use magnets on a stainless steel fridge?

In most instances, the stainless steel used in domestic appliances, including refrigerators, is not entirely pure and contains some ferrous metal, allowing refrigerator magnets to attach. While the higher the stainless steel content in a fridge may reduce its magnetic attraction, this effect is typically minimal for most refrigerator doors.

Fridge magnets are usually made from rubberized Ferrite powder, though some may utilize more powerful (but pricier) Neodymium magnetic material. If you find that flexible fridge magnets are insufficient for holding items on your refrigerator door, consider upgrading to Neodymium magnets, Neodymium self-adhesive magnets, or smaller pot magnets to better meet your needs.

Magnets New Zealand offers Neodymium magnets in various shapes, including discs/cylinders, blocks, rings, and pots, which can be used for novelty magnetic decorations or on their own to attach notes and reminders to your fridge.
