đź’ˇ Are fridge magnets secretly hiking up your electricity bills? 🤔 Well, Whirlpool has weighed in, and it’s not what you might think! While there’s a common belief floating around, the real issue isn’t about energy consumption but rather about protecting your fridge’s longevity.
Here’s the scoop: Whirlpool suggests that plastering your fridge with too many magnets could stress the door hinges due to the extra weight, potentially impacting your fridge’s operational life. Imagine it like the “lovelock” situation on bridges – a single magnet is no problem, but when they start adding up, there could be issues! 🧲
Don’t fret just yet! A few magnets here and there should be fine apart from the odd scratch. Other companies like Endesa and tech giant LG have dismissed these concerns, saying these magnets are too weak to affect your fridge’s performance or your electricity bills.
So, while fridge magnets won’t lead to a sneaky rise in your bills, it might be time to evaluate just how many are hanging out on your fridge door. 🛠️ Keep those fridge hinges happy and avoid overloading!
