What is a refrigerator?
A refrigerator, also called a fridge, is a home appliance that uses a refrigerant system to store food and maintain its freshness using cold temperature. Refrigerators are related to food freezers with the exception that refrigerators are not dedicated to storing food at a temperature that can be below freezing – although most refrigerators do have a smaller section that keeps a frozen internal temperature.
Most consist of a compressor, refrigerant, and heat removal system somewhat similar to that of an air conditioner. Many refrigerators also provide additional features and benefits such as producing ice cubes, drinking water, eggs and drinks, and the storage of fruits and vegetables.
