Heat is generally expelled from the sides or back of the refrigerator. If the heat dissipation process is hindered and occurs more slowly than normal, the appliance’s energy consumption will increase. Therefore, it is advisable for users to place the refrigerator at a distance from walls and other barriers that may obstruct heat release.
Moreover, the refrigerator should not be situated near other electrical appliances such as ovens, electric stoves, or microwaves, as this can significantly raise the ambient temperature and potentially reduce the appliance’s lifespan. It is also important to minimize the duration for which the refrigerator door is left open.
Prolonged opening of the door will allow cold air to escape, necessitating greater effort from the compressor to maintain the desired temperature.
