The reason why the refrigerator makes ice slow?
Inappropriate capacity
When the refrigerator is set at a low capacity, the replenished cold air will also decrease, causing the refrigerator to make ice slowly. Please check if your refrigerator is experiencing this issue, if so, set it to a higher capacity.
Therefore, check if you have set the refrigerator at a low capacity, if so, adjust it to a higher capacity.
Too many items in the new refrigerator
Storing too much food in the refrigerator makes the cooling process take longer.
When you put a large amount of food (especially in the freezer) into the refrigerator, the temperature inside will increase, and the refrigerator will take some time to replenish the cold air and bring the temperature back down. This process takes some time, and after that, the refrigerator will make ice as quickly as before. In this case, you don’t need to do anything else.
Heat leakage
After a long period of use, some refrigerators may have poor heat insulation due to loose rubber seals. Therefore, regular maintenance is needed to prevent heat leakage.
3 ways to make ice quickly and save electricity effectively
In fact, the electricity cost for refrigerators can account for 16% – 22% of the total annual electricity bill for households. Therefore, VNEEP has shared some tips to make ice quickly and save electricity for refrigerators:
Use silver foil
Silver foil has good thermal conductivity, helping the ice-making process to be faster.
Silver foil has good thermal conductivity, so if you are using plastic ice trays, you can try wrapping them with a layer of silver foil. This method will help create coldness faster and freeze the water more quickly.
Use metal ice trays
Switching to metal ice trays (aluminum, stainless steel, etc.) will significantly save ice.
Instead of using plastic ice trays, you can switch to metal ice trays (aluminum, stainless steel, etc.), which will significantly save energy consumption. In addition, choose ice trays with a large surface area, as the larger the surface area, the faster the ice-making process (similar to making ice in trays is faster than freezing in water bottles).
Use purified water
Purified water without impurities like dust or microorganisms can promote the freezing process.
This method is very simple, just put bottles of purified water in the freezer for about 2 hours. Then, take the bottles out and apply a strong force (slam the bottle on the table) and you will have frozen water.
According to experts, in purified water without impurities like dust or microorganisms, the ice crystals have nothing to surround, so the water can reach a temperature below freezing without solidifying. Applying force to the water will help trigger the formation of ice.
