Turning it on again helps. ;-D
When "off" is displayed on a Samsung refrigerator, it typically means that the cooling function of the refrigerator has been turned off or disabled. This could be due to a power outage, a setting adjustment, or a malfunction.
obviously
Dry ice will last longer in a freezer than in a refrigerator. In a turned-off freezer, dry ice can last anywhere from 18 to 24 hours. In a turned-off refrigerator, it may only last around 4 to 12 hours, depending on the size of the dry ice. Remember to always handle dry ice with care and in a well-ventilated area.
Only if the refrigerator is empty, if you have perishable food in it and you turn it off, it will all go bad. And saving energy is great, but if you have a empty refrigerator and you have it turned off continuously what is the point of having a refrigerator?
Yes it most likely would.
Just turning it off, no.However some models of refrigerator might be damaged if they are turned off then immediately turned back on. Its always best if you do turn a refrigerator off to wait a minimum of 20 minutes before turning it back on.The other way a refrigerator can be damaged by being turned off is if it will be left off several day or longer. This will allow fungi and bacteria to bloom on all interior surfaces. When you next open the refrigerator it will be a mess of multicolor growths and will have an overwhelming stink, while this can be cleaned off it may leave permanent stains on the plastic surfaces. Should you plan on turning a refrigerator off for an extended period, completely empty it then clean all surfaces with a disinfectant to kill all fungal spores and bacteria. You might want to repeat this cleaning once or twice a day for a few days after actually turning off the refrigerator to make sure nothing was missed.
The answer to the riddle "What is cold when it is running and smells when it's not" is a refrigerator. When a refrigerator is operating, it keeps its contents cold, but when it is turned off or not running, food inside can spoil and emit unpleasant odors.

When turned off it is possible for gas bubbles of the refrigerant to mix with the liquid refrigerant in the pump. If the refrigerator is immediately turned back on the pump will turn this mixture to a froth that it is unable to pump and the refrigerator will not function. The pump motor can overheat and in some cases burnout or even catch fire. Waiting a few minutes before turning back on will allow the refrigerant bubbles to separate from the refrigerant liquid, preventing the pump from making a froth and allowing normal operation.
The purpose of a refrigerator shut off valve is to control the flow of water to the refrigerator's ice maker and water dispenser. It functions by allowing you to turn the water supply on or off, regulating the amount of water that goes into the refrigerator.
To turn off the water supply to the refrigerator, locate the shut-off valve usually located behind or near the refrigerator. Turn the valve clockwise to shut off the water supply.
Your freezer should be turned off and cleaned with a mild detergent and water.
