Question:

Can the refrigerator be powered off?

I just bought it in July. Now the winter, less eat at home, want to break the refrigerator electricity, idle for a few months. I would like to ask experts: will this cause damage to the refrigerator?

Answer:

Over time, plug in ~ ~ running for tens of minutes ~ ~ theoretically, after the refrigerator is enabled, it is not recommended to use for a long time. Because the refrigeration device and compressor refrigeration system in the refrigerator for a period of time after the refrigeration tube would accumulate some more or less compressor lubricating oil, the oil in the refrigeration process is circulating, but once the machine has been stopped for a long time, the oil circulation in the compressor will (especially compressor piston) long time insufficient lubrication, start again more difficult, there will be the compressor cylinder fault aluminum cooling tube perforation leakage phenomenon (Rock refers to the use of ice that took over the sealing ring); another is a refrigerator refrigeration machine, hot and cold humidity, the oxidation of the electrical circuit and bad contact. Of course, if not sure you want to disable, the first to open all the doors for ventilation and dry water in inside and outside health (this step can not be less because of the original low temperature refrigerated indoor temperature rise will power and humidity clean bacteria will multiply the), best not to shut the refrigerator door leave space ventilation, stop the long how long time the door will open.
What's more, the long shelf use of the refrigerator makes it easy to plug the cylinder and the piston in the compressor. The temperature is low in winter, the refrigerator running for a while, the internal temperature down, power consumption is much less than in the summer. The refrigerator can not save much electricity, and if it leads to a refrigerator failure, it is not worthwhile. In addition, from the health point of view, although the temperature in winter is relatively low, but not stable, the effect of food preservation is still better than the refrigerator.
In winter, if the refrigerator is stopped, the service life of the refrigerator will be adversely affected.The refrigerator is not a long time will make the frozen oil and refrigerant to the compressor and piping at the bottom of the bottom sediment, however, the refrigerant is corrosive, frozen oil can play a good role and, if you use a long time, because of no damage to the protection oil will accelerate the corrosion caused by refrigerant pipeline of refrigerator.
