Hidden Kitchen Danger? Your Mistakes Could Make Your Fridge Explode.

• Recent incidents in Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan highlight the danger of fridge explosions, causing severe injuries and fatalities.
• Explosions are often caused by flammable gas (like Isobutane R-600a) leaks, which can ignite from a spark when accumulated in a closed space.
• Other causes include compressor overheating due to prolonged use or excessive ice, and weakened components in fridges older than 15 years.
• Ensure proper ventilation (6 inches space) around the fridge and maintain optimal temperatures (2-5°C for fridge, -15 to -18°C for freezer) to prevent overheating.
• Regular maintenance, annual servicing, and addressing warning signs like burning smells, unusual noises, or electric shocks are crucial for safety.

Why It Matters: Your fridge can explode due to gas leaks or overheating, posing serious danger.
