Debunking Fridge Dial Myths: How Seasonal Adjustments Impact Energy Bills
Refrigerator Setting Misconception Could Be Costing Households. A recent viral video from content creator T.Lifehack Eng highlights a common misunderstanding regarding refrigerator thermostat dials, claiming that 98% of consumers are unaware of its true function. The video, which has garnered over 2.6 million views, suggests that the dial controls the compressor's operational time rather than directly setting the internal temperature, a claim that appliance experts might view with scrutiny given standard thermostat functionalities. The creator advises adjusting the refrigerator's dial seasonally to optimize performance and reduce energy consumption. According to the video, setting the dial to a lower number like '2' in summer and a higher number such as '4' or '5' in winter can prevent moisture and ice accumulation, significantly decrease electricity bills, and extend the appliance's lifespan. "If you set it wrong, your electricity bill increases many times over," the narrator states, emphasizing the financial impact of incorrect settings. The video also claims this method reduces the risk of breakdowns. While the advice to adjust settings for efficiency is sound, the underlying explanation of the dial's function warrants further clarification from appliance manufacturers or energy efficiency experts.
