Will you switch off your fridge when you go out?

i would never turn off my fridge, you store things there to keep them at a certain temp if it not on, it wont be cold and then wen keeps getting turned on and off will it not damage the thermostat or something?

nope!!especially when it has lots of food stored their i just made it sure that its secure and wont start a fire or something and made things safe...happy lotting!!!

I never switch off my fridge as I store a lot of food there. I never know that some people would ever switch off their fridge, at least not until you told me that some people REALLY do that kind of stuff! It's just unbelievable! Maybe they don't have a lot of stored there, and just to save up some electricity bill, you know, the less electricity used, the less they have to pay for the bill. Uhm, still can't believe it somehow!

nopes....if i'l just go out for a couple of hours i wont switch it off then after few hours turn it on again..

it wil damage your thermostat

I don't turn off my refrigerator. The use of the refrigerator is to store things and keep foods cold and fresh. That is why I bought a refrigerator. If I turn off my fridge the ice might melt and the vegetables might not be fresh anymore. I haven't heard of someone who turns off his/her refrigerator whenever they go for shopping. But if I will be gone home for 3days or for a week. That's the only time I will turn off my refrigerator. And I will make sure that there will be no meat or foods that might get spoiled.

Nope, I never turn off my fridge when I go out or do something outside whether on a long or short period of time. I value to have a low electric bill. For I know that the fridge should maintain certain degree of coldness and once it attain the coldness inside it the flow of electricity was lessen and once you practice the on and off system it will not only damage your fridge but you will have high electric bill because you cannot maintain certain level of coldness in your fridge.

I only remove the plug out of the fridge when I go somewhere for a few days or a few weeks. I empty whatever foodstuff that I have in the fridge and either give it to my neighbor or a friend to use.

The only time I turn off the fridge while at home is when there's thunder and lightning outside. But once it subsides I turn the fridge back on.

But I did have a friend who use to turn off her fridge every night before she went to bed and put it back on the next day. She use to do this to save electricity. I don’t think it’s a good idea because there’s a possibility that water can get stagnated inside and damage the wires inside the fridge.

We never turn our fridge off. We would lose our food. Plus the energy it would use to cool it's self down again. People may think that they are saving money but they are really not. I personally wouldn't recommend doing that.

No, I cannot do this. I would hate to have to go out and leave any of my food in the fridge without coolness. I seems safe and unhealthy to do so..

I've never heard of this practice before, and it seems a little silly. Plus, I don't think it's very good for your fridge to keep making it power down and then get back up/down to temp. Your frige is usually good for around 6-8 hours without power if you don't open the door and your freezer is usually ok for about 24 hours. So you are OK in case of a power outage or something, but I can't see unplugging it on purpose if there's food in there!
