Refrigerators are indispensable items in daily life, and they are also home appliances that last 24 hours a year. Once problems arise, not only can they easily cause inconvenience, but they may also cause the refrigerator to become an electric monster. Among them, the refrigerator glue that is most likely to be ignored by most people may be the most popular ones.

Refrigerator gel is related to food safety and cost

According to the Taiwan Facebook Fan page "Taiwan Electric Power Fan Group", the cleaning inspection of refrigerator gel is very important for refrigerator maintenance. If the sealing gel is aging and deformed, or the adhesion is poor, the cold air will continue to leak out, making the refrigerator not cold and the food is easily damaged, and the compressor may also be activated more frequently, which will lead to electricity consumption.

Therefore, the glue should be wiped regularly to keep the glue sealing due to frequent effects. As for how to check the refrigerator door strips are still in a close state? Taiwan Electric Fan Group said that if you put a sheet of paper in the door and try it out, you can check it. If you can put the sheet of paper in it, it means that the strip is well sealed. If you can't hold it, you should pay attention to evaluating whether you should change the refrigerator rubber.

What should I do if the refrigerator rubber strips appear to be deformed? Taiwan electric fan group recommends that you can try to blow the deformation area with a blower to restore the original shape of the glue. But if the rubber strips are severely changed and cannot be recovered, professionals should be contacted to change the refrigerator strips.

In addition to checking the refrigerator's rubber strips, how can we ensure that the refrigerator is efficiently transported and save electricity? The following are the inspection tips recommended by the Taiwanese electric fan group:

1. Avoid placing the refrigerator in direct sunlight. The increase in the surrounding temperature will increase the electricity consumption.

2. The back and left and right sides of the refrigerator should retain more than 10 cm of wind-scattering space, and the transportation efficiency will also be improved.

3. Under general use, it is recommended that the refrigerator temperature be adjusted until it is suitable for cold. Adjusting the strong cold or quenching for a long time will increase the power consumption.

4. The food storage should not exceed 80% of the refrigerator capacity. If it is stored too much, it will increase the power consumption by 4% to 5%.

5. Put the hot food into the refrigerator and put it directly in to increase the power consumption.

6. Regularly clean the external air and dust in the refrigerator to maintain a better use space, also help dissipate heat and maintain high transportation efficiency.

7. As much as possible, reduce the number of times the refrigerator is opened, the shorter the time it is to save power.

Taiwan Electric reminds that if the refrigerator door is opened frequently or if it is open for too long, it will cause the compressor to consume electricity in order to reduce the temperature and move more. For example, every time the refrigerator is opened, the compressor will run more than ten minutes on average to restore the refrigeration temperature.
