Is it ok to leave the refrigerator open?
No, for two reasons. First, the fridge door has to be closed to keep the air temperature inside the fridge cool enough to keep the foods cold and safe. Second, leaving the fridge door open causes the refrigerator to run more, costing more energy and running up the electric or gas bill.
If you leave the fridge in your kitchen open for 10 minutes after an hour is the room warmer or colder than it would have been had you not?
Warmer. A fridge works by transfering heat from inside the fridge to the coils out the back of the fridge. Leaving the door open is the same as pulling water out the bottom of a water cooler and pouring it back in the top. The transfering of heat cancels itself out. The fridge will stay running longer trying to keep the inside cold when the door is left open. This extra running time from the motor is the major source of the added heat to the room.

Why is temperature controlled in refrigerators?
simply to keep food fresh. If the fridge's temp is too high, food will warm to room temperature and go off faster. Too cold, then the food will freeze! Everytime you open the fridge door you are letting room temperature air inside, increasing the temperature of the air inside the fridge, therefore the fridge (if automatic) will measure the temperature and make the air to the right temperature.

Should I turn the fridge off if I am leaving it empty when I move?
This question can be answered anyway you wish. how long will the unit be empty? Will the electricity be shut off? If you are shutting the fridge off it is suggested you defrost, clean and air dry the fridge to avoid build up of odors in the fridge and home. If you leave it on then you must be sure power is to remain connected or you should clean and bleach the fridge. If you are not using the refrigerator, you should clean it thoroughly and prop the doors open. This prevents the refrigerator from collecting mold and awful smells from previous food kept in the refrigerator during previous use.
Is keeping parrot food in the fridge a good idea?
