Save a Ton of Money on Electricity with This Simple Refrigerator Tip

Did you know that your refrigerator has a small button that can help save electricity, especially in the winter? Many people are unaware of this feature, but it can significantly reduce your electricity bill.

Why Adjust the Refrigerator Temperature in Winter?

Refrigerators are essential appliances, operating 24/7 to keep our food fresh. However, they are also one of the most energy-consuming devices in the home. According to Vietnam Electricity Corporation (EVN), a large refrigerator can consume between 50 – 75 kWh of electricity per month.

How to Adjust the Refrigerator Temperature:

Identify the Temperature Control: Modern refrigerators have a temperature control knob or display panel with settings ranging from 1-5 or 1-6.
Adjust for Winter: In winter, you can lower the cooling level to save electricity. Adjust the temperature to levels 2-3, or even 1. At level 1, the refrigerator temperature will typically range from 2-5 degrees Celsius, which is sufficient for food storage and helps save electricity.
Based on Food Quantity: Adjust the temperature according to the amount of food stored. If the refrigerator is less full, lower the cooling level. For a fuller refrigerator or compartments with fresh food like seafood, maintain a higher cooling level around -18 degrees Celsius.
