Why put a coin in the refrigerator

A metal coin will help you find out if your refrigeration unit is working properly.

It is possible that the device switches off periodically, and you don’t even notice it.

As a result, products that must be constantly stored at low temperatures spoil.

And eating such food can lead to poisoning.

So, how should you proceed? First, take some small but deep enough container. For example, a cup.

Fill the chosen container with plain water and place it in the freezer.

Remove the cup when the liquid in it is completely frozen. Place a coin on the ice that has formed and return the container to the freezer.

Check the location of the metal banknote periodically.

If the coin always remains on the surface of the ice, then there is no reason to worry: the refrigerator was not turned off, the freezer worked continuously, everything is fine with the food.

But if you find a metal circle that has shifted slightly downwards and frozen in, then the situation is bad: due to malfunctions, the refrigerator periodically stops "freezing". The ice melts, the coin falls through, and then the water freezes again.

In this case, you need to find out the reasons for the refrigerator's malfunction. Perhaps the device needs repair or complete replacement.
