Why is refrigerator warm at bottom and cold at top?
i think it depends on where the cooling vents are. in every fridge I've seen they've been at the top.
Why is the freezer compartment in a refrigerator at the top?
Because in the freezer cold air present , cold air denser so it flows down to the rest of the compartment and thus cooling rest of the compartment
Why is the top of your refrigerator cold but not the bottom part?
the top part is cold because that's where the freezer is and the refrigerator is the bottom part.
Why is the freezer compartment located at the top of a refrigerator?
It is not always at the top as its a refrigerator so it can cool any compartments it contains it contains due to its special mecanism
Why is a freezer compartment at the top of a refrigerator?
The cooling element in freezers is at the top in order to keep it its coolest. This is because in a freezer or fridge the heat travels using thermal convection. In your kettle you have a the heating element at the bottom so the water particles are less dense and rise upwards beofore cooling at the top and becoming colder denser particles that then replace thehot particles at the bottom. This cycle carries on....however in a fridge or freezer you want the particles to be colder and denser so the cooling element is at the top so it allows the particles rise then to cool faster at the top. Its basically the reverse of what you have in your kettle, that allows you to boil your water!
What type of refrigerator did GE introduce in 1927?
In 1927 General Electric began marketing the first refrigerator with a hermetically sealed motor and an attached cooling box. It was called the "Monitor Top," because the motor was in a circular box on top of the cooling compartment

Why is the cooling coil of the refrigerator placed near the top of its cabinet?
It isn't always, but the advantage of putting it there is that heat (hot air) rises. You'ld rather not have that hot air heating up the body of the refrigerator.
How do I prevent my Samsung refrigerator from freezing my food?
I have had this problem with a refrigerator before. The best thing to do is turn the refrigerator to its lowest setting and do not place any items on the top shelf near the air unit. Unfortunately, the problem cannot be fixed and your refrigerator will need replacement.
Yellow light symbol that looks like a tank with a wheel on the top?
Shows that there are errors present in the Heating/Cooling control unit.
Why does the cooling unit have a heater at the top?
Because it is a heat pump, meant to be able to either heat or cool the home, depending on the season.
Why is the cooling unit of a freezer at the top?
This is because, hot air rises and cold air sinks. When the air near the cooling unit loses heat, it will sink to the bottom whereas the hotter air at the bottom will rise to the top. This is due to the density difference between them, since hot air has a lower density than cold air, hot air will rise. When they rise, they will be cooled by the cooling unit too. And then sink to the bottom again. This cycle will then repeat itself until the air is of a constant temperature.

What is a bottom freezer refrigerator?
its not always at the bottom its just the way yours is made some other people have asked why is it at the TOP of the refrigerator so my answer is that its just a selective spot depending on what fridge you have. In fact, the majority of refrigerator/freezer combinations have the freezer on top. As mentioned in other posts, hot air rises and cold air sinks, so freezer-on-top models can transfer cold air to the refrigerator without using as much electricity as other models, making freezer-on-top models the most energy efficient refrigerators (generally speaking) that you can buy.
Does the Refrigerator with the top and bottom doors or refrigerator with side by side doors uses more efficiently?
top and bottom door
Why is the top of your refrigerator cold but not the bottom part?
the top part is cold because that's where the freezer is and the refrigerator is the bottom part.
What year was frigidaire refrigerator model FRT18S6AW7 made?
The first method of refrigeration (cooling air by the evaporation of liquids in a vacuum) was invented in 1748 by William Cullen of the University of Glasgow, Scotland; Cullen did not apply his discovery to any practical purposes. Michael Farady, an English physicist liquefied ammonia to cause cooling (in the 1800's). Faraday's idea would eventually lead to the development of compressors, which compress gas to liquid form. The American inventor Oliver Evans designed the first refrigeration machine in 1805. In 1844, John Gorrie, an American doctor from Florida made a device based on Evans' invention that would make ice in order to cool the air for yellow fever patients. The first electric refrigerator was invented in 1803 by Thomas Moore. The first commercial refrigerator designed to keep food cold was sold in 1911 (by the General Electric Company) and in 1913 (invented by Fred W. Wolf of Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA); these model consisted of a unit that was mounted on top of an ice box. A self-contained refrigerator (with a compressor on the bottom of the cabinet) was invented by Alfred Mellowes in 1915. Mellowes produced this refrigerator commercially (each unit was hand made), but was bought out by W.C. Durant (the president of General Motors) in 1918, who started the Frigidaire Company in order to mass-produce refrigerators in the USA.
