1. Placing the refrigerator too close to other heat-generating devices:
One of the reasons why refrigerators explode is because they are placed too close to other heat-generating devices such as gas stoves, microwaves, ovens, etc. If the heat is too hot or these devices short-circuit, the refrigerator will also explode.
In addition, if the electrical wires leading to the refrigerator are placed too close to curtains, blankets, and mattresses, it will increase the danger. When the electrical wires short-circuit, they can easily spread, catch on these materials, and engulf the refrigerator in flames.
2. Using a refrigerator that is too old, not regularly maintained or repaired:
Refrigerators that are too old, have been repaired, welded, and have had their gas replaced many times, have dirt that clogs the capillary tube connecting the condenser to the evaporator, causing the pressure to be too high, reducing the cooling capacity of the refrigerator.
Signs that your refrigerator is old and at risk of exploding are: “The compressor runs continuously without stopping, there is a loud noise, there is a lot of ice and snow on the compartments, and poor cooling.”
It is best to regularly hire a technician to come to your home to check the refrigerator and repair or buy a new one as soon as necessary.
