Refrigerators are indispensable appliances in every household, helping to preserve food and beverages ideally. However, placing refrigerators in the wrong positions can affect the health of family members as well as waste electricity unnecessarily.
According to feng shui experts, there are three particular positions that you should avoid when placing refrigerators.
Avoid placing the refrigerator opposite or next to the stove
From a feng shui perspective, the kitchen represents the “Fire” element while the refrigerator symbolizes the “Water” element. The opposition between these two elements can cause an imbalance in the energy of the house, affecting the harmony and fortune of the family. The scientific aspect also supports this view with the reason that placing the refrigerator near the stove can increase the refrigerator’s energy consumption since it has to work harder to stay cool.

Avoid placing the refrigerator opposite or too close to the entrance door
According to feng shui, the entrance door is an area with a strong energy flow, and a large appliance like a refrigerator can block the flow of this energy, leading to health and financial issues.
From a safety perspective, placing the refrigerator near the entrance door can make it difficult to move around the house and pose tripping hazards.

Avoid placing the refrigerator where direct sunlight hits or where there is a high temperature
Feng shui emphasizes balance and harmony, placing the refrigerator in a place that is too hot will cause the “Water” element (refrigerator) to be weakened by the “Fire” element (high temperature from sunlight), thereby causing an imbalance in energy. This not only affects the harmony within the family but can also negatively impact the health and fortune of the members.

From a scientific perspective, placing the refrigerator in a place with a high temperature will cause the refrigerator to work harder to maintain the temperature inside the refrigerator, resulting in consuming more energy and shortening the life of the machine. On the other hand, if the refrigerator has to work continuously at high power, the stability of the temperature inside the refrigerator will not be guaranteed, which can affect the quality of the food being stored and the risk of developing bacteria and parasites, causing harm to the health of consumers.
In conclusion, choosing a location for the refrigerator should consider both feng shui and scientific factors to ensure health, save energy, and bring good luck to the family.
