2. Using a refrigerator that is too old, not regularly maintained or repaired:

Fridges that are too old, have been repaired, welded, and have had their gas replaced many times, have dirt that clogs the capillary tube connecting the condenser to the evaporator, causing the pressure to be too high, reducing the cooling capacity of the refrigerator.

Indications that your refrigerator is old and at risk of exploding are: “The compressor runs continuously without stopping, there is a loud noise, there is a lot of ice and snow on the compartments, and poor cooling.”

It is best to regularly call a technician to check the refrigerator and repair or buy a new one as soon as necessary.
