How long is the service life of the refrigerator

Currently, there is no mandatory standard for the service life of electrical appliances.

　　 The "Safety Life of Household Appliances" formulated by the Household Appliances Industry Association specifies that the safe use of refrigerators is 10 years.

　　It is also mentioned that the product is still used after its service life. Due to ageing, there may be safety hazards such as leakage and fire. It is recommended that users replace it in time. This standard is a recommended standard rather than a mandatory standard. It can also be seen from this standard that ten years is the minimum service life of the refrigerator, and there should be no major safety hazards during this time.

　　The Home Appliance Industry Association has formulated relevant standards. On the one hand, it raises people’s awareness of safe use of electrical appliances and avoids the hidden dangers of using over-service electrical appliances. This is naturally not wrong. In addition, the power consumption of electrical appliances that have been overdue will increase, and they should be replaced from the perspective of energy saving. This one is debatable. Electrical appliances that exceed the so-called safe service life will consume more power, but it is not cheap for consumers to buy a new refrigerator, and it will cost more to save electricity. For manufacturers, doesn't producing one more refrigerator consume more energy? How about energy saving and emission reduction? Therefore, the introduction of this standard has another unclear meaning, which is to promote the upgrading of electrical appliances to increase sales.

　　 Reasonable use and maintenance of the refrigerator will help improve the working efficiency of the refrigerator and extend the service life of the refrigerator. It is best to use the fresh-keeping box and fresh-keeping bag to keep the food in the refrigerator sealed separately. First, it can avoid odor, and second, it can prevent the evaporation of food from increasing frost and ice. Regularly cleaning the inside of the refrigerator can maintain hygiene, and removing frost can improve the refrigeration efficiency of the refrigerator and avoid long-term work of the compressor. The refrigerator door seal can be cleaned with neutral detergent. If the door seal is deformed, it can be gently removed and soaked in hot water. After the door seal becomes soft, reinstall it and use tape to fix the refrigerator door to the body. Remove the tape after one night, and the refrigerator door seal will be more compliant and the seal is better.
