If you want good cooling from the refrigerator, do not let dust accumulate on the coils and vents at the back.If the fridge is very old then it needs more care.If there is a very loud noise coming from the compressor or it is not coming at all, then it can be an alarm bell.
Due to the summer season, every electronic appliance in the house is becoming a victim of overheating. By touching anything like AC, fridge or TV, it becomes clear how much the heat wave is affecting them. Meanwhile, if we talk about Freeze, the heat is such that its body remains completely hot from all sides. To prevent the AC from overheating, it is said that it should be switched off at regular intervals. But if we talk about fridge, we run it 24 hours. During summer, the refrigerator compressor heats up very fast, which can affect its cooling. So what should we do so that the refrigerator compressor does not stop in summer?
If the fridge is old then it will definitely consume more electricity, and older models produce more heat. It is important for any refrigerator to have sufficient free space behind it. If you keep the fridge close to the wall, then air will not flow to its compressor and it can heat up rapidly, due to which there is a risk of fire in its motor.
Also read- AC is catching fire due to heat, do not make such mistake in panic, it can become fatal!
If your fridge model is many years old then it is possible that ammonia gas has been used in it. These gases are flammable, and the risk of gas leaking is very high.
How far should a fridge be from the wall?
There are many people who, in order to save space, keep the refrigerator close to the wall. But this should not be done at all. It is said that there should be at least 4-6 inches of space between the fridge and the wall.
Also read- If the cooler is operated in this manner, the humidity in the room will increase, the body will become sticky and sweat will flow.
It is normal for every compressor to make some noise, but if your compressor is making very loud noise or no noise at all then it needs attention.
Cleaning- We clean the inside of the fridge but do not pay attention to its outside. But if you want good cooling from the fridge, then do not let dust accumulate on the coils and vents at the back, and keep cleaning them regularly.
Read this also – AC should not become deadly, people make big mistakes while trying to save money, hence it catches fire!
Loading luggage is dangerous- Do not use the fridge as a store room. This means that if you stuff too many items in the fridge, air circulation will not be possible and cooling will not be done properly.
If the fridge is very old then it needs more care. Therefore, appliances older than 10 years should be checked once a year. If you feel even slightly that the cooling is not happening properly then call a professional technician without any delay.
