The big reveal on the causes of fridge freezing

Cleaning is something that every family has to do. While talking to a friend, we got to talking about a common problem. It is the tendency for the fridge to freeze. This problem can be encountered from time to time. When you open the fridge for three or two days, you will find ice.

My friend is also very diligent about cleaning the ice out of the fridge regularly. And I always build up to a certain point before cleaning it out. Because cleaning ice out of the fridge is still a bit of a hassle, you need to take everything out of the fridge and wait for the ice to melt. In the process, you also have to prevent water from melting out of the ice and getting everywhere. So cleaning the fridge can be a big job. Of course, you can also chisel the ice manually, but it's easy to hurt the fridge and you have to wait for the ice to dissolve slightly.

Then if the fridge doesn't freeze, it won't be such a hassle. Ice in the fridge is not inevitable. There is a reason for it. This way we can figure out why it freezes to avoid freezing the fridge. There are several reasons why your fridge freezes, and they're all explained below.

The first possible cause is the temperature setting. It is possible that someone has not adjusted the temperature since they got the fridge. As a result, the temperature may have been set at a very low setting. If the temperature is set too low, it will freeze.

The second possible cause is a thermostat that is not working properly. The temperature of the fridge is regulated by the thermostat. If the thermostat is abnormal and the fridge does not reflect the true temperature properly, it will increase the cooling capacity, which will lower the temperature and cause icing.

The third possible reason is that the fridge is not closed properly. Of course, it is still very unlikely that people have a bad relationship with each other, but it could be because the seal on the door is aging and cannot completely isolate the refrigerator from the outside space. So the temperature can't be maintained and the fridge keeps cooling, causing it to freeze.

The fourth possible cause is a blocked queue hole. If you look closely, you will find a small hole inside the fridge. This hole is the drainage hole, which allows the condensation in the fridge to drain out. When this drain hole is blocked, the water can't drain away and it tends to freeze up.

The fifth possible reason is that the food is placed too close to the inner wall of the refrigerator. The refrigeration tube of the refrigerator is very close to the inner wall of the refrigerator, and it is easy for ice to form in the corresponding location of the tube. When there is food, the water evaporates and the water can easily freeze on the inside wall of the fridge. This makes it even easier for it to freeze.

The sixth possible cause is a warped or damaged fridge lining, resulting in a gap between the lining and other parts of the fridge. Poor insulation leads to icing.

This article introduces the causes of fridge icing and then discusses the dangers of fridge icing. Refrigerator icing hazards are mainly two, one is to increase the refrigerator power consumption, and the second is the refrigerator cooling effect becomes poor. Because the thermostat will be affected by icing, and can not correctly reflect the temperature inside the refrigerator when misjudged as high temperature, the refrigerator will continue to run or increase the running time, so the power will also increase. When the temperature is judged to be low, the fridge will not run to cool down. So the fridge will become useless and consume power.

There are other precautions to take, such as not putting anything too hot directly into the fridge and not filling the fridge too full. You should be careful with your fridge. Of course, there are a lot of novelty features in fridges these days (I've never bought one, so I won't go into them) and there may not be as many problems. But even a good fridge can break if you don't use it properly, so you need to take care of it.

I think it's a summary of the main points:

1. the refrigerator icing possible reasons have: temperature setting, thermostat abnormal, refrigerator did not close well, queue hole blockage, food put too close to the refrigerator wall, refrigerator wall deformation or damage.

2. the refrigerator ice of the main harm there are two, one is to increase the refrigerator power consumption, and the second is deteriorate the refrigerator refrigeration effect.

3. In addition, there are some precautions, such as do not put too hot things directly into the refrigerator, do not fill the refrigerator too full. But if you don't use it properly, even a good refrigerator can be damaged, so you have to love it.
