The operation of the hinge of a refrigerator

Although there are slide fasteners sliding the doors of the apparatus and thus preventing them from being blocked by the hinge, the hinge fastener is most used in refrigerators. The door is at home immobilized on the device and makes the contact between the door and the fridge, allowing the door to articulate properly.

Although the hinge is designed to last for life, it may, due to improper handling, deteriorate. It can also get dirty because of dust. It is necessary to replace these failing parts as this may have consequences for your device.

A failing hinge ensures a poor closing and, consequently, a poor sealing of your refrigerator, thus favoring the formation of frost.

If the door does not close properly, the lamp in your oven will stay on. It will produce, therefore, heat. This heat will cause a disturbance of your thermostat and, thus, also the disruption of the internal temperature of your device.
