Refrigerators are common household appliances. They are excellent at preserving food and can store various kinds of food. In autumn, some people find ice in their refrigerators, mainly due to improper use. For example, the refrigerator may not be closed properly, hot food may be placed directly inside, or the food may have a high water content.
1. Put hot food directly into the refrigerator. Food contains more moisture in the warm air, which will cause the refrigerator to freeze.
2. If the refrigerator door is not closed tightly or the seal is damaged, hot air will condense and produce water vapor.
3. Food containing warm air or with high moisture content can cause fog and water droplets to condense and freeze in the refrigerator.
4. Eating too close to the refrigerator lining can cause the cooling pipes on both sides to freeze.
What to do if your refrigerator freezes up in the fall?
1. To allow the ice to melt naturally, please turn off the power to the refrigerator and wait for it to melt naturally.
2. Defrost by unclogging the drain pipe. First, check if there are any problems with the drain pipe. If there are no problems, disconnect the power, open the refrigerator door, and let it thaw naturally.
3. To melt the ice in the refrigerator, turn off the power, prepare a bowl of hot water, put it in the refrigerator, close the refrigerator door, and wait for the ice to melt naturally.
How to prevent ice buildup in the refrigerator?
1. Avoid water containing food.
Avoid putting foods with high water content in the refrigerator, such as soups and other foods.
2. Understand how to use a refrigerator
Many users have some misconceptions about adjusting the refrigerator thermostat. Here's a friendly reminder: Most refrigerators nowadays have thermostat numbers that represent opposite temperatures. That is, the lower the temperature, the higher the number.
3. Avoid repeatedly opening the refrigerator door.
The large temperature difference caused by repeatedly opening the refrigerator is also a reason for ice buildup in the refrigerator compartment.
4. Don't put too much food in the refrigerator.
A layer of ice often appears on the back of the refrigerator because too much food is piled up. When placing food, make sure to keep it a certain distance from the back of the freezer compartment.
