Refrigerator Explosion Horror: Father, Two Children Burnt in Goregaon Slum Fire

• A refrigerator explosion in a Goregaon West slum house led to a terrible fire, injuring a father and two children.
• The compressor, located at the back of the refrigerator, is the part that can explode due to gas accumulation and pressure.
• Compressor circulates refrigerant, causing heat; if coils constrict, gas gets blocked, leading to dangerous pressure buildup.
• Old refrigerators (over 10 years) have an increased risk of explosion and require extra caution and regular checks.
• Listen for unusual compressor noises, ensure proper ventilation, and call a technician for cooling issues or excessive heat.

Why It Matters: Old refrigerators and poor maintenance can lead to dangerous explosions; regular checks and proper ventilation are crucial.
