Apart from taking care of your health in the scorching heat, it is also important to maintain the appliances used at home properly to stay safe. By taking care of some things, accidents like breakdown and explosion of refrigerator, AC etc. can be avoided.
In many places, the mercury has crossed 50 and in such scorching heat, refrigerators and ACs seem no less than a boon for people. However, due to some mistakes, you may become a victim of an accident. Some things should be kept in mind while maintaining appliances like refrigerators and ACs in summer. So let's know.
In most houses, the refrigerator is attached to the wall. Due to this error, there is a fear of electric current spreading in case of a fault. The compressor works to increase cooling in the refrigerator and when it remains on for a long time, the back part of the refrigerator becomes hot. In such a situation, when the gas gets trapped in the coil, there is a risk of explosion.
• In summer, people keep everything from vegetables to fruits in the refrigerator, try not to overfill it. The refrigerator coils should be kept clean and if any unusual sound comes from the compressor, immediately turn off the refrigerator and take it to the mechanic.
• The refrigerator should be placed at a distance of about 15 inches from the wall and the refrigerator should not be kept on continuously for a long time. If you are installing a refrigerator, check the electrical cord, power plug, etc. thoroughly.
• There have been reports of ACs exploding for the past few days. In such a situation, it is important to take some precautions. Due to heat, people reduce the temperature significantly to provide more coolness. This affects the compressor and increases the risk of explosion.
• Some things should be kept in mind while buying an AC. It is better to buy an AC after looking at a good brand and star rating. An AC with a copper coil is better than an aluminium one. While buying an AC, keep in mind how big or small is the area in which it will be installed.
