In the heat days, you may see refrigerator you «kneels», or display strange readings on his screen.
The first reaction of most may be to lower the temperature to the thermostat. But experts point out that the answer to the problem lies elsewhere.
Doesn't freeze the fridge in summer: I guess it's not broken.
The refrigerators have a feature that is important to be careful when buying, depending on the use you intend to make. The critical size is about the amount of food you freeze.

Someone who tends to keep large quantities of food stored in the freezer should not choose the same device as someone who only has ice cubes.
What is freezing capacity with examples
This size is called freezing capacity and is measured in kilograms per 24 hours (kg/24h). It shows how many pounds of fresh food can freeze the refrigerator within 24 hours under specific test conditions.
For example:
4 kg/24h → the refrigerator can freeze about 4 kg of fresh food in 24 hours.
10 kg/24h → significantly greater freezing capacity.
15 kg/24h → even stronger and faster freezing.
Attention, freezing capacity does not match its capacity. The latter is measured in litres.
It doesn't mean that freezing can hold as many pounds in total. It's different from the capacity, measured in litres.

In the summer the freezer «squeezed». As the external temperature is very high, we tend to put more food there as they are rapidly altered to room temperature or maintenance. Also, her door opens more often, so there are casualties.
If you fill the freezer with meat, fish, ice or freshly cooked food in containers, a low capacity model will need more time to stabilise. It will give you the impression that it does not freeze, even if there is no harm.
How to prevent overload of the device
The technicians recommend that you distribute the loads, cool the food in the refrigerator before freezing it and activate the quick freezing function in advance if the manufacturer provides it.
It is also recommended that you leave space for air circulation, do not cover the internal ventilation holes and avoid placing food that is still warm, as this increases humidity and increases the temperature of the chamber.
