Brilio.net - Loose refrigerator door rubber can be a serious problem that greatly affects the performance and efficiency of the refrigerator. When this condition occurs, the temperature inside the refrigerator becomes unstable, which can accelerate food damage. In addition, the refrigerator must also work harder to maintain a cold temperature, which will ultimately increase electricity consumption.
Loose refrigerator door rubber is often caused by wear and tear or aging of the material. Over time, the rubber can become stiff or lose its elasticity, making it unable to close tightly. In addition, rubber that is dirty or exposed to sharp objects can also be damaged, reducing its ability to maintain airtightness. Therefore, it is very important to regularly check and maintain the refrigerator door rubber to keep it in optimal condition.
Fixing loose refrigerator door rubber is actually not difficult and can be done at home. One simple first step is to clean the rubber from dust and dirt. Many people tend to remove the rubber from the refrigerator door to make the cleaning process easier.
However, keep in mind that removing the refrigerator door rubber can be quite complicated and troublesome. Once removed, the rubber must be reinstalled properly to prevent leakage. This can certainly be a challenge for those who are not used to disassembling and reassembling.
