I don't know if this is common knowledge, but not all refrigerators nowadays are magnetic. When going out shopping for one, bringing a small fridge magnet can help you easily rule some models out if you care about that.

Yeah, we moved a couple years ago, and now have a built-in fridge, so it has a wood panel in front of the door. I want my whiteboard back :(

    Yes! I got one magnetic self-adhesive whiteboard film for my fridge from Aliexpress (because it was impossible to find anything like that locally), and I am pretty happy about it. The magnetism is not that strong, but I use neodynium magnet to compensate for that.

    Leaving it here in case you are interested, but I'm sure you can find other alternatives if you search harder than me... https://a.aliexpress.com/_ExyxrXU
