Because the glass gets cold and to form the figure it was in it had to expand with heat therefore putting a glass in an extremely cold enviornment like the freezer the glass particles get compact (really tight) and shatters.

Why is my Fridge warm but the freezer is cold?

If it is a "frost free" fridge-freezer, try DEFROSTING IT. Ice can build up out of site and stop cold air circulating in fridge. I had this problem and after defrosting it now works fine.


Why is frost bad for a freezer?

The problem is, because it's a good insulator. The way a freezer works, you have a load of pipes at the back, you compress a gas in the pump, that makes it hot and loses the heat out of the back of the fridge or freezer. It then pipes this condensed, compressed room temperature gas into the freezer, it then expands, evaporates, gets cold, and so the coldest bits of the fridge are where this expanded gas is flowing through. The problem is that wants to get the heat from the fridge, but if you've got a great big layer of ice, that's going to insulate the cooling part of the fridge from the contents of your fridge, so the fridge is going to be warmer, which means that the actual fridge-freezer is going to work harder to keep cold, which means it gets even colder, it means you get more ice that will build up so it'll go horribly wrong until the fridge just conks out.


Why your fridge freeze things?

If you mean, why does my fridge freeze things? It means that it is set a temperature that is too cold. Set it about 6-7 degrees above freezing. You should have a thermostat to use. It could also be affected by the setting in your actual freezer. Especially if you have a two or three door model with the freezer at the bottom of the unit. Check to see what your freezer setting is. It should be able to be dialed from "Warmer", "Colder" and "Coldest" settings. The last two settings are so cold they may affect the fridge temp as well as the freezer.
