If you have magnets hanging on your fridge, you might want to think about removing them. It’s pretty common to see magnets on fridges in Danish homes. A lot of people use fridge magnets to hang to-do lists and children’s drawings, but it turns out that the magnets can be harmful to the fridge. This was reported by the media outlet Ricettasprint.
How Magnets Can Harm Your Fridge
Experts say that this seemingly harmless accessory can affect refrigerator performance and even cause permanent damage. Magnets are made of materials that can mess with the magnetic field around the fridge, which can lead to problems with both the cooling system and temperature control.
On top of that, magnets can also affect other electronic devices nearby because they create magnetic fields that can interfere with sensitive equipment.
The Fix
To get around these potential issues, experts recommend using magnetic boards that can be placed anywhere in the kitchen. Putting one or two magnetic boards in your kitchen not only protects your fridge, but also lets you change the look of your kitchen without moving the big appliance.
Knowing about the risks fridge magnets can cause can help your fridge work better and last longer. So don’t get rid of the little mementos on your fridge, but show them off in a smarter way that doesn’t put your fridge at risk.
