What’s next, the kitchen sink?

A massive refrigerator stuffed with empty Arizona iced tea bottles somehow ended up on the West 4th Street subway platform, where it languished for days before the MTA finally removed it.

The sight of the abandoned icebox — emblazoned with a sticker boasting of its energy efficiency — was carted off during rush hour in front of dozens of dumbfounded straphangers waiting for the uptown B, D, F and M trains.

“This is really something,” said Jrena Bubolka, 61.

She stared at the fridge, then shook her head.

“Nothing surprises me.”

Another weary rider looked up from her novel — José Saramago’s “Blindness” — rolled her eyes and muttered, “Only here.”

Joshua Hernandez, a straphanger from The Bronx, did a double-take.

“Who walks around with a fridge?” he asked incredulously.

“I’m wondering how it got here,” he said.

So is the MTA.

Officials at the station said they had no idea how — or why — it was put there.

The platform does have an elevator for disabled riders, but the kitchen appliance was ditched nowhere near it. “People use this as a dumping ground,” one exasperated employee huffed.

The NYPD was called to look at the fridge as a “suspicious item” on Wednesday.

It’s unclear why it wasn’t removed.

At around 5:30 p.m. yesterday — after a Post inquiry — two MTA workers came and hoisted it onto a green industrial dolly.

Straphangers craned their necks and watched as one of the workers strained to push it.

He was followed by the second worker, who carried the fridge’s door behind him.

They later hauled away a trash bag full of the bottles.

Commuters who regularly use the popular West Village station — which also services the A, C and E trains — said that the dirt-covered icebox languished there for days.

“A lot of homeless guys hang out here,” said one rider, Marian.

Her theory was that “maybe, someone was building some kind of house.”

Hernandez, a teacher’s aide from The Bronx, said the fridge posed a danger to the tiniest straphangers.

“The MTA should have gotten rid of it. It’s unsanitary,” he said. “What if a kid climbs into it?”
