Protect Your Refrigerator: The Dangers of Heavy Objects on the Door

We strongly advise against placing heavy objects on the refrigerator door to ensure your refrigerator remains in optimal condition. Here’s why:

Sagging Door and Deformed Door Holders:

The weight of the door, combined with heavy objects, can lead to the door sagging over time. It strains the door holders, causing deformation and compromising their functionality.

Formation of Gaps and Air Leakage:

As the door sags, a gap will form between the door and the main body of the refrigerator. Through this gap, warm air can enter the refrigerator compartment, disrupting the cooling process and affecting the overall temperature control.

Compromised Sealing and Temperature Maintenance:

The entry of warm air due to the gap in the refrigerator door breaks the sealing, preventing the refrigerator from maintaining the desired temperature. It can result in inefficient cooling, potential food spoilage, and increased energy consumption.

To safeguard your refrigerator’s performance and prolong its lifespan, follow these recommendations:

Distribute Weight Evenly:

When storing items in the refrigerator, distribute the weight evenly across shelves and compartments to prevent excessive pressure on the door.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can protect your refrigerator from damage, preserve its energy efficiency, and ensure your food stays fresh for extended periods.
