Refrigerator Explosion: Nowadays refrigerator has become an important part of human life. There is hardly any house where refrigerator is not used. Especially in summer season refrigerator becomes very important. By using it, you can drink cold water while keeping your food items safe. In this news, we are giving you information about the possible reasons for refrigerator explosion. We will also tell you what should be done to prevent such incidents.
Not the refrigerator, but a part of the refrigerator that exploded.
When we talk about a refrigerator bursting, it is actually not the refrigerator but a part of the refrigerator that bursts, that part is called the compressor. The compressor is installed at the back of the refrigerator. It has a pump and a motor. This motor sends the refrigerant gas to the coils through the pump. As it cools and liquefies, it absorbs the heat of the refrigerator and cools everything inside it, so this is the normal way to cool a refrigerator.
If something goes wrong the compressor explodes.
When the process becomes abnormal the compressor explodes. In fact, when the compressor continuously circulates the refrigerator and the back of the refrigerator starts heating up, it is because the condenser coils shrink. Due to their contraction, the gas path is blocked and it becomes unable to escape. As the gas accumulates inside the coil, pressure starts building up and after a certain limit this pressure takes the form of a dangerous explosive. Since such incidents are not common and hence do not flare up easily, it can be assumed that it does not flare up so easily. However, if you have a refrigerator more than 10 years old in your house and is being used, then you need to be careful. The older the refrigerator, the greater the risk of it exploding. You need to be more careful with older refrigerators.
Here are some important tips that you need to keep in mind
. If you hear the same sound of the compressor, it means it is fine. But if it is making a loud noise but no sound is coming out of it, then understand that something is wrong. If the refrigerator is 10 years old, then keep checking it from time to time and do not keep the refrigerator close to the wall. There should be enough space between the refrigerator and the wall. If the refrigerator is not cooling anything properly, then call a technician. If there are too many blows coming from the back of the refrigerator, then it is not right to ignore them.
