Brilio.net - Refrigerator door rubber plays an important role in keeping the refrigerator temperature stable. That's why it's important to care for the refrigerator door rubber so that it doesn't become stiff. The reason is, when it is stiff, the refrigerator door rubber cannot be closed completely, so the cold temperature in the refrigerator easily escapes and makes the freon work harder to cool the refrigerator .
It's best not to leave the refrigerator door rubber in a tight condition, because there is a risk that the freon will run out quickly and the refrigerator will no longer be cold. If it runs out, the freon needs to be refilled so that it works ideally again to cool the refrigerator. Well, the price for refilling freon is not cheap, you know.
You can check whether the refrigerator door rubber is tight with the help of paper. To do this, first open the refrigerator door, then slip in a piece of paper and close the door. After closing, try pulling the paper slowly, if the paper can be removed easily, it could be that your refrigerator door rubber is stiff.
