What Happens When You Unplug Your Refrigerator?
While many appliances can be unplugged without repercussions, unplugging your refrigerator is a different story.
Compressors
If you unplug, then immediately re plug your refrigerator back in, you may be at risk of damaging your compressor. It may not even start up when plugging in your fridge, which may be due to the accumulation of pressure. Compressors are essential to the refrigerator cycle, so unplugging your fridge is definitely something you want to avoid. If you must unplug and re plug your refrigerator for any reason, the best course of action is to wait fifteen minutes before re plugging your refrigerator.
Rising Temperatures
Another issue with unplugging your refrigerator is that the temperature will start rising and your fridge can become a breeding ground for micro organisms and bacteria. This can lead to a terrible odor coming from your refrigerator.
Precautions and Measures
If you must unplug your refrigerator, here are some precautions and measures you must take.
- Remove All Food From Your Fridge
- Turn Off Your Ice Maker and Temperature Control
- Clean Your Refrigerator Thoroughly
- Keep Your Refrigerator Dry
- Leave the Refrigerator Door Open
Ideally, it would be best to keep your refrigerator plugged in to keep it running efficiently, but if you must unplug your fridge for any reason, make sure to follow the precautions above.
