Brilio.net - Refrigerator rubber is an important component that keeps the temperature inside the refrigerator stable. This rubber coats the inside of the refrigerator door and sticks firmly to the refrigerator body thanks to its magnet. However, over time, this rubber can become loose because it loses its flexibility. When the rubber becomes stiff, the magnet cannot stick properly, which can cause the refrigerator temperature to be unstable and even increase. This forces the compressor to work harder, risking further damage.
To solve this problem, many people choose to replace the refrigerator door rubber or soak it in hot water to make it soft again. However, there is an easier way to deal with loose refrigerator rubber without having to remove it.
A YouTube user Bhoy Teknisi once shared a quick trick to overcome stiff refrigerator door rubber. The trick shared is easier to do because you don't need to remove and reattach the refrigerator door rubber.

As reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Bhoy Teknisi on Tuesday (11/26), first clean the refrigerator door rubber. When cleaning, scrub it with a brush that has been given water so that the dirt that sticks to the rubber can be removed. After that, wipe it with a dry cloth. Do this process on all parts of the refrigerator rubber until it is completely clean.

Next step, prepare really boiling hot water. Then flush the rubber of the refrigerator door using the hot water. Flush slowly and little by little so that the hot water does not enter the inside of the refrigerator.
"This is so that the rubber wakes up or becomes flexible immediately. So if previously the rubber was very stiff, by pouring hot water on it, it will wake up (become flexible)," explained YouTube Bhoy Teknisi.

Pour this hot water over the entire rubber part of the refrigerator door. Start from the side, top, and bottom. Once done, wipe the rubber door of the refrigerator using a dry cloth. Don't forget to wipe other parts of the refrigerator that are exposed to water.
In the video, YouTube user Bhoy Teknisi also wipes the front of the refrigerator body. He explains that this part must also be clean from dirt so that the refrigerator rubber can stick very tightly. If it is clean and dry, immediately close the refrigerator door. Well, the refrigerator door is really tight again, you know.
