The Effect Of An On and Off Power Supply

Constant power cut off will surely damaged your appliances. I suggest you buy an AVR to regulate the power once it resume. A no-frost fridge is also good so you do not need to worry about foul odor with defrosted waters. Try not to stock perishable foods especially meat and fish to avoid food wastage.

That is really one of the causes why appliances are destroyed. Here in our place, it has been a week already that we have power interruptions. It become even worst because we have power interruptions twice a day. Imagine 2 hours without electricity and twice a day. The power has just returned. Now I can do mylot.

You'd better send for someone who knows a lot about refrigerator. If it is only an electricity power, you don't need to buy a new one. I don't know if you have lots of money and think of having a new one in mind, that could be a good idea. I have owned a fridge for 18 years and it still works well till now.

hi friend, so you turn your ref off and on directly on the unit? I would presume that is what you do, am I right? Well I turn my ref off at night when it's cold and turn it on in the morning when temp starts to rise and I never damaged it. What i do is that the ref is not directly plugged in to the socket but i let it pass through a power supply similar to an AVR in my pc, it guards the motor from power surges as well as the shock of turning it off and on. The power supply also steadies the voltage before it enters the unit. Have it checked first, perhaps you do not have to buy a new unit, in our country it's more economical to have the motor changed so long as you get a good and qualified technician. If no one is at home the whole day, then why not turn it off directly in your circuit breaker or fuse box?

The only thing I know about that is that it can cause damages to appliances. :)

Oh. I feel for you. I think it is best to turn it all off and unplug it if ever nobody will be left at home. But I think it is too impossible to turn off the fridge specially if there are things inside that need to be frozen. Tsk. That's a problem. Yeah, just buy a new one and just try to ask the personnel if what to do if those case will happen again and nobody is at home. I mean what kind of act should you do in advance before leaving.

I also experienced the same. Our fridge also stopped working but we don't turn it on and off often, only when we're going to be out for days and there are not food to keep frozen. I'm not surprised thought since we bought it for a very cheap price. Although now we don't have any fridge, and it has been weeks like this. We are obliged to eat everything before they spoil. I never thought we could live like this but it's actually possible.

hehe, the fridge smell i don like at all, its very annoying and also the power cuts are responsible for all these. we too are facing a lot of difficulty because of this. I think its better to bu new one.

This is also one of the reasons why I hate unannounced power interruptions. Not only are our appliances on the verge of getting ruined, but the food, in the case of fridges, are also risking its freshness of not immediately attended to.

The machines or any gadget will be broken due to the effect of fluctuation of electricity. I hate the fact, I had once brought my laptop in an isolated place. It broke down, it is inevitable not to have power supply. Since it is the basic necessity to live or to survive in the community level, essential to work-related concern.
