The refrigerator is one of the essential appliances that is almost always present in every kitchen. Its crucial role in keeping food and drinks fresh makes the refrigerator an essential household investment. With a variety of design and technology options, modern refrigerators are now not only functional but also add to the aesthetics of the kitchen.
However, placing a refrigerator in the kitchen requires special attention, especially regarding its position against the wall. Often, homeowners tend to place the refrigerator directly against the wall to save space. In fact, this placement can affect the performance of the refrigerator and its lifespan.
A YouTube user Zoona Tuser once explained further about the reasons why refrigerators should not be placed against walls. Reported by BrilioFood from YouTube Zoona Tuser on Wednesday (2/10), placing a refrigerator against a wall can narrow the area where hot temperatures exit the condenser. In fact, this condition can slow down the cycle of the cooler or freon and eventually cause the refrigerator to break down quickly.
On the other hand, placing the refrigerator near a wall or zinc roof also greatly affects its performance. Zinc walls and roofs can affect the performance of the refrigerant because the process of removing heat in the condenser can be hampered. This is because rooms with zinc walls and roofs tend to be very hot, so they can affect the work of the refrigerator.
