Does the refrigerator need to stop using in winter?
Because the winter temperature is low, so some users will choose to stop using the refrigerator in winter, in fact, there is not much need, for one thing, if the refrigerator is not running for a long time, some internal parts will be aging faster, and the external temperature is not refrigerator refrigeration or freezing temperature is stable, the preservation of food is also very unfavorable. Secondly, winter because the temperature is low, refrigerator running gear as usual are low, power consumption compared to summer can cut about half, the user also do not have to depressed will be flooded with extra electricity costs. So it is not recommended to stop using the refrigerator in winter.
How to give the refrigerator “big wash”
Winter because of the low temperature, so the food on the outside can also be temporarily fresh for a period of time will not deteriorate, so in winter choose to hold a thorough washing of the refrigerator as well as exceptionally suitable. Many users are accustomed to a year to clean a refrigerator, it is recommended that at least 3 months or so wash once, and to the end of the year is to choose a big wash, usually mainly simple scrubbing and defrosting, save the freezer a open found all thick frost, the preservation of food and the use of the refrigerator are very obscure.
First of all, in the wash before we have to cut off the power of the refrigerator, the internal food out, some frozen food we can focus on placing together, so that is conducive to a short time insulation.
10 minutes easy defrost
Now most of the users home refrigerator is straight cold refrigerator, and refrigeration refrigerator there is an unstoppable problem is frost, many not long finishing refrigerator users of the freezer are miserable, in the evaporator will have a thick layer of frost. The frost in the refrigerator in addition to the internal space of the refrigerator, but also obstruct the evaporator outside the heat exchange, the adverse effects of refrigeration effect, the thicker the frost layer, the worse the refrigeration effect. So when the frost in the refrigerator, defrost is exceptionally need.
Because of the refrigerator evaporator control cowardly, and the refrigerator frost in just shut down as usual, this moment we don’t want to directly with a lot of force to hard, can first place the refrigerator for a period of time, and so the frost layer softened down and then with the random attached defrost shovel gently shovel down can.
Of course, guard the refrigerator frost is against the time, therefore, the author also used many of the way often used by the same person, is with hot water steam to accelerate the rate of frosting. The effect is very good. Before seeing some of the partners use electric hair dryer, the author here as usual do not recommend this, because this will damage the plastic accessories in the freezer.
In the steam frost, if the frost layer is too thick, you can choose to use more than a few pots of hot water held together, because the internal temperature of the refrigerator itself is very low, the temperature of hot water will soon come down, if each layer are put on a pot of hot water, trust the rate of frost will be faster more. The author used only one basin in defrosting, delaying a lot of time. In addition, if the use of metal water basin, remember to put a piece of cloth at the bottom to prevent the temperature is too high damage to the refrigerator box.
In the defrost and refrigerator outside clean are finished, to use the rag will refrigerator internal dry, and then slightly placed about 20 minutes and then plugged in and run, this can stop because of the refrigerator internal water contact to the circuit board and lead to electric shock, but also can stop the internal water in the power again after the freezing, that will be more than worth it.
