Many people wonder why they shouldn't put hot food in the refrigerator.
This behavior can lead not only to serious damage to the appliance, but also to health problems.

When can you put hot food in the fridge?
Sometimes you can put hot food in the fridge, but only if the appliance is equipped with a special compartment for hot food or technology for rapid cooling and freezing of food.
However, it's better to wait until the food cools down before putting it in the fridge.
Can you put hot food in a No Frost fridge?
Fridges with No Frost technology have a special compartment where cooled air is stored. The system also reduces the likelihood of frost.
Even so, hot foods can disrupt the normal operation of the fridge.
Why you shouldn't put hot food in the fridge
Excessive energy consumption and compressor wear.
If you put hot food in the fridge, the amount of heat inside will increase dramatically, which will strain the device.
The fridge will consume more energy due to the hot food, and the compressor will also be more strained, which will cause it to wear out more quickly.
Serious fridge malfunctions
Regularly putting hot food in the fridge can cause it to break down. The light bulb may burn out, the fans may break, or the freon piping may crack.
Damage to the walls
The walls and shelves of your fridge are made of plastic and glass, which are sensitive to high temperatures.
If you frequently place hot objects on them, they can crack and chip.
