How to put a glass of water in the refrigerator correctly?
Before going to bed, you take a glass of water and put it in the freezer. Everyone should note that it must be done at night for it to be effective.

The effect of a glass or bowl of water in the refrigerator
According to the refrigerator principle, it is not used at night, so if you put a glass of water in, it will cool faster and consume less energy than during the day.
The next morning, the ice in the glass, when placed in the cooling compartment, will thaw on its own, providing cool air to preserve food. Thanks to that, the refrigerator no longer consumes too much energy.
In addition, during the ice melting process, the glass of water will provide “fresh” water for food, vegetables, and fruits, helping them stay fresh and delicious for a longer time.
Besides, you can also refer to some tips to save electricity for the refrigerator such as: Limit opening the refrigerator multiple times.
Avoid leaving the refrigerator too empty or too full.
Do not place the refrigerator against the wall as the condenser needs efficient heat dissipation. Placing it against the wall obstructs air circulation, making the refrigerator work harder and take longer to cool.
Do not put hot items in the refrigerator, which makes the refrigerator work harder and consume more energy.
Avoid damaged door seals that cause cool air leakage, which is also a common cause of energy consumption.
Regularly clean and maintain the compartments, especially check the freezer compartment to promptly handle frost build-up.
