Refrigerators
Does the light really go out when we close the door? From the early icebox to the modern built-in frost-free stainless steel double door works of art, refrigerators have improved greatly over the years, and we seldom think about them until they don't work right. From cleaning methods to repairs, this category is the place to get advice and answers to your questions about refrigerators.

How does the refrigerator harm the environment?
It uses electricity, most of which is generated by burning fossil fuels. This releases additional greenhouse gas in the form of carbon dioxide.
How an amperage reading would be taken using a clamp-on?
Simply "clamp-on" the clamp of the amp meter to any electrical conductor supplying the equipment that you wish to check while it is in operation. It is better to use your clamp-on with each individual conductor one at a time.
Why are refrigerator compressors painted black?
It's because of radiation that as you know black body is an ideal radiation body for good radiation and so good heat transfer.
How long will uncooked salmon last outside the fridge?
I don't know the answer, but I wonder why you want to know this. It's hard to imagine this situation happening lol
Can you leave your refrigerator plugged in for 3 months?
Of course you can. Most people leave their refrigerators plugged in for years. It's actually quite rare for someone to unplug their refrigerator.
Why is a thermistor used in a fridge?
A thermistor is used in a fridge to measure the temperature inside the fridge. It can sense changes in temperature and send signals to the fridge's control system to adjust the cooling accordingly. This helps maintain the desired temperature for preserving food and optimizing energy efficiency.
Does torani syrup need refrigeration?
According to their website it does not. As long as the room is 35-85 degrees your fine. Do not store in direct sunlight, i.e. on shelf in front of the kitchen window.
How long does Yago Sangria last in the Refrigerator?
how long can a open bottle of yago stay in refrigerated
Can you ruin the refrigerator if the door is open all night?
No, but it may ruin the food!
Depending on how wide the door was left open, it will just take some time for the fridge to reach its correct temperature again.
Do you have to let the gas settle in a new fridge freezer?
Yes you do, let it settle over night then plug it in, that should give you plenty of time!
Is putting a refrigerator in a garage energy efficient?
yes because it's cooler in the garage than in your house. Plus there are no confusing powerlines.
What happens to a filet steak if left in the fridge to long?
The steak may go bad and leave a bad odor.
When refrigerator compressor makes a noise approx how long will refrig last?
Often, the rubber bushings that the compressor sits on will deteriorate or harden with age, and the normal noise that the compressor makes will be telgraphed into the frame and amplified. If that is the problem, you can just ignore it, or replace the bushings very cheaply. Many good fridges have been thrown out because of this simple problem.
If it is an actual internal problem, there is no way of knowing how long it has. You might want to start shopping for a good deal while you have warning.
If the noise is a simple "ka-chunk-ka-chunk" when it clicks off, ignore it. Unless it bothers you. Will run for years like this.
Do not replace a bad compressor. Too many variables have to all go just right for a good installation. Buy another fridge.

Hypothesis of How do you keep ice from melting without using a freezer?
Place it into a high-compression-chamber and raise it to a pressure where it changes to one of its higher temperature forms. This of course takes an incredible amount of pressure and the equipment needed would be far more expensive than a freezer.
Another Perspective:
Place the ice to be conserved, in the top part of a double boiler. In the bottom half, place disposable ice, rock salt, and some water (enough of each to surround the upper half when it's in place). Place the top half into the bottom half. This won't keep it forever but it should keep it from melting for at least 1/2 - 1 hour. The keep time can be extended by insulating the system, such as wrapping with wet towels (the evaporation will help to keep the system cooler, longer).
There is another, more elaborate method, involving parabolic mirror(s), in which you can expose the ice to the (4oK) sky, but this requires some fabrication skills and a little bit of money. However, once this system is in place and working, the keeptime is indefinite. At any rate, it's a great demonstration, and other applications for this principle might be found.
Is the freon for your car and refrigerator the same?
Look on the back of the refrigerator. If it says R134 anywhere there then yes and the amount is critical.
