What many people do wrong: 1. Turn on the refrigerator and it is empty
Like lighting a refrigerator without water, the electrical resistance Heating Element heats up to 500°+ in seconds. The plastic on the base melts, the wires burn, and the result = spark + fire. 2. Its lifespan is more than MAX
The water boils and overfills → the water enters the electrical base → short circuit → spark + electric shock.3. Keep it under the closet/curtain
Hot steam + heat as upward. Except that there was wood and no curtain above it, it dried up and burned over time. Hadi called it a “fire of negligence.” Why does the picture contain a large fire? Hadi called it a rare case of BLEVE = Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapor Explosion. As expected, except: the refrigerator contains water + the spout is clogged. The pressure builds up inside until the casing explodes. Water hot at 100° can cause splashes and cause serious burns. 5 golden rules
This picture says “electric kettle/refrigerator” is dangerous, but there is no fire in the picture. Fire here is symbolic. The real danger is electrical fire + explosion due to 3 common errors:
