Putting carbonated drinks in the freezer is one of the mistakes that many people make that causes the refrigerator to explode. According to experts, carbonated drinks cans are very sensitive to temperature, too hot or cold can turn them into “bombs” and explode violently.
Similarly, putting beer or alcohol in the freezer can also change the pressure, which can easily cause an explosion. You should also not put glass bottles of water in the freezer. When the temperature drops, the water will expand while the glass bottle of water contracts. This can easily cause the bottle of water to break or explode.
4. Gas leak + electrical leakage:
The gas tank of the refrigerator has a very sturdy steel shell, so the possibility of spontaneous combustion is very unlikely. Except in the case of a gas leak (open weld, leaking pipe, etc.) and coming into contact with an electric spark due to a short circuit in the electrical line at the right time.
The electricity demand of households is very high, most of them use high-capacity, power-consuming devices such as: washing machines, dishwashers, microwaves, air conditioners, etc. Meanwhile, if the electrical line is installed without meeting the overload demand, it will lead to an electrical short circuit at any time.
If the gas tank explosion occurs at the right time when there are people in the house and it is difficult to find a way to escape, the consequences will be fire, smoke and gas fumes from the refrigerator.
5. Plugging many devices into the same outlet as the refrigerator:
As a device that consumes a lot of electricity, if you plug many devices into the same outlet as the refrigerator, it is easy to cause an electrical short circuit, leading to a fire in the refrigerator.
6. Use insect repellent near the refrigerator:
Avoid using chemicals such as insect repellent or hairspray near the refrigerator. The reason is that sparks can be created, react with the chemicals and cause an explosion.
