In our daily life, the refrigerator is one of the indispensable household appliances in every family, which provides great convenience for us to store food and keep fresh fruits and vegetables. There is a large empty space above the refrigerator, and many friends often choose to put some items on it without "wasting". However, not all items are suitable for placement on top of the refrigerator. Today, I will talk to you about three items that are not suitable for being placed on top of the refrigerator, so as to shorten the life of the refrigerator with free electricity. So what are the three items? Let's follow me to find out!
The first type: dust cloth.
In the process of using the refrigerator for a long time, a lot of dust will accumulate on the top of the refrigerator, but because the refrigerator is relatively high, it will be more difficult to clean it every time. Some friends will cover the top of the refrigerator with a dust cloth for dust protection, so that you only need to clean the dust cloth regularly. However, this seemingly intimate act has no small amount of harm. Because the refrigerator needs to dissipate heat when it is working, we cover the refrigerator with a dustproof cloth, which will make the refrigerator heat dissipation poor. When the heat dissipation is not smooth, the refrigerator needs to consume more power to enhance heat dissipation in order to maintain the normal cooling effect. And poor heat dissipation for a long time will also cause damage to the parts of the refrigerator, directly shortening the service life of the refrigerator. Therefore, it is best not to put a dust cloth on the refrigerator, and remember to remove it in time if there is one.
The second type: all kinds of small household appliances.
In our homes, there will be all kinds of small appliances, such as microwave ovens, electric ovens, air fryers, yogurt makers, bread makers, and so on. When there are a lot of things, you need a place to store them. In order to save space in the kitchen, many families choose to place these small appliances on top of the refrigerator. However, this practice is quite harmful, placing small household appliances on the refrigerator, in the process of use, will also produce resonance phenomenon, which will affect each other's performance, and even bring potential safety hazards. Not only that, these small household appliances have a certain weight, we place it on the refrigerator, it will cause a lot of burden to the refrigerator, and it will also interfere with the normal heat dissipation effect of the refrigerator, making the refrigerator more power-consuming. Therefore, for the normal use and safety of refrigerators and small household appliances, we should avoid placing small household appliances on top of the refrigerator.
The third type: green potted plants.
In order to add a touch of green to the kitchen, many people will choose to put a pot of green plants on the refrigerator. However, it is also extremely inappropriate to place potted plants above the refrigerator. First of all, potted plants have a certain weight, and placing them on the refrigerator will put an extra burden on the refrigerator. In the long run, it may cause the top of the refrigerator to deform, affecting its normal structure and performance. Moreover, green plants need to be watered and fertilized frequently, which leads to a relatively humid surrounding environment, and the humid environment will also cause the refrigerator parts to rust. Once rusted, it will not only affect the refrigeration effect of the refrigerator, but also increase the probability of failure. In addition, green plants can attract bugs and microorganisms. When we open and close the door, these bugs and microorganisms enter the refrigerator and contaminate the ingredients stored inside. Therefore, for the normal operation of the refrigerator and the safety and hygiene of food, do not place potted plants on the refrigerator.
