But you shouldn't put hot things in the refrigerator, as this can cause some problems.

Why you can't have hot things in the refrigerator

Here are some reasons.

  • Ice formation. Too much ice can cause equipment failure. Or you will have to constantly knock off the ice and clean the refrigerator.
  • High load on the compressor. The higher the temperature, the harder the compressor will work to try to do its job.
  • Damage to glass shelves. Due to sudden temperature changes, the strength of such shelves will gradually decrease.
  • Deformation of plastic walls. This material also does not tolerate temperature changes well.
