1 Should you unplug the refrigerator when not in use?
There is a common misconception that unplugging the refrigerator during winter or when traveling for a long time will result in significant energy savings. However, this practice can actually cause damage to the refrigerator and shorten its lifespan. When the refrigerator is unplugged for an extended period of time, the refrigerant flow between the condenser and the evaporator stops, leading to oxidation and potential leaks. Additionally, condensation can accumulate and damage internal sensor devices, compromising the refrigerator’s cooling function.
In order to maintain the quality of the refrigerator and minimize energy consumption during winter use, it is recommended to set the temperature to level 1. This level provides suitable conditions for food preservation while still ensuring stable operation and energy efficiency.
If you need to unplug the refrigerator for an extended period of time, it is important to follow certain precautions. Firstly, unplug the power and remove all food from the refrigerator. Once the ice has melted, clean the interior with a clean cloth. It is recommended to avoid placing the refrigerator near a stove, and to use a breathable cotton cover instead of a nylon cover to prevent moisture buildup and component corrosion. It is also advisable to occasionally plug the refrigerator in for a few hours to maintain proper functioning of the condenser and evaporator.
