Fridges

A refrigerator, also known colloquially as a fridge, is an essential household appliance designed to keep food and beverages at a low temperature to prevent food spoilage and foodborne illnesses.

The primary function of a fridge is to store perishable food, such as meats, dairy, and fruits and vegetables, preserving their freshness and prolonging their shelf life.

Refrigerators work by removing heat from the interior and expelling it to the outside in a constant cycle.

The most common types of fridges are the top-freezer, bottom-freezer, French door, side-by-side, and mini-fridge.

Top-freezer fridges, which have been around since the 1940s, are the most popular and affordable type of refrigerator available.

Refrigerators offer a variety of features and options, including ice makers, water dispensers, adjustable shelves, and temperature control.

Energy efficiency is also a significant factor when choosing a fridge, as it can impact energy consumption and reduce electricity bills.

Along with regular maintenance, such as cleaning and organizing, fridges require occasional repairs and replacement of parts.

Proper use and care can extend the life of a fridge and ensure it continues to function correctly for years to come.
