You need to use a refrigerator, like any other appliance, correctly.

Otherwise, certain operating errors may reduce the service life of the equipment.

Moreover, some actions can cause serious damage to the refrigerator.

Keep the door open

If you have a habit of looking into the refrigerator and keeping the door open for a long time, then you should not be surprised that at some point the equipment may break down.

If you leave the refrigerator door open frequently, frost or ice may appear on the walls of the chambers.

This in turn may not have the best effect on the operation of the compressor fan.

In addition, in such a situation, the refrigerator will produce more cold and spend a lot of energy on it.

Do not check the door seal

If the seal on the refrigerator door is deformed, warm air may enter the unit.

If the situation is not too bad, then the problem can be solved by cleaning.

It is worth thoroughly wiping the rubber bands with a soap solution and then wiping everything dry.

Afterwards, you need to apply silicone lubricant for seals to it.

If the rubber is very deformed, it needs to be replaced. At the same time, do not forget to regularly clean the rubber gasket.

Too much overload

The refrigerator or freezer compartments should be filled to within 70 percent.

If you fill them completely, the food can be located near the walls of the chambers.

Because of this, products can obscure various important technical openings.

Earlier we talked about why you should never put hot food in the refrigerator.
