Your refrigerator isn’t just another appliance — it’s the guardian of your food’s freshness and your family’s health. When it stops working properly, it’s not just inconvenient — it can be dangerous.
At Also Appliances, we specialize in fast, reliable repairs for refrigerators and washing machines. In this post, we’ll explain why acting quickly when your fridge malfunctions is critical for food safety, and how our expert team helps you avoid spoiled groceries, health risks, and costly replacements.
A Malfunctioning Fridge Can Spoil Food in Hours
Refrigerators should stay below 4°C (40°F) to keep food safe. When the temperature rises:
- Bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, and listeria can grow rapidly
- Meats, dairy, and leftovers can spoil within hours
- You may not see or smell the danger — but it’s there
Even a short delay in fixing the issue could lead to hundreds of rands worth of wasted food — or worse, a trip to the doctor.
Foodborne Illness Is a Real Risk
Eating food that was improperly stored, even for a short period, can result in:
- Nausea and vomiting
- Stomach cramps
- Diarrhea
- Fever and fatigue
