exploding refrigerator?

[askolover]

I expected it to be a Samsung to go with their phones and washers.

Also seems EN/IEC 60335-2-24 regulations apply in Europe to any fridge using R600a or similar. Those tightened fire and explosion ratings.

I sent the link of the article to YouTuber JayKay18, a friend of mine. He made a video regarding it.

If you haven't watched this video don't waste your time doing so, this guy is a total nut case, he brings no good information about this unfortunate incident out, it is just 12 minutes of swearing with no solutions offered, I would rater listen to DJT explain what happened.

Jay pointed out the fact that they are now using R600A in cars as well, a serious point regarding safety. There are no solutions to offer, this video was more meant to just cover the story to Jay's subscribers, many of whom are appliance aficionados and aren't here on AW to have caught it.  I just posted it here as it regarded the same subject. Jay is a friend of mine, I have talked to him for a while, and he is no nut case, he just uses strong words to express his opinions.

I can AGREE with the video shown-the "Greenie" stuff is NONESENSE!!!!!Did those folks know when there is a major volcanic eruption CFC's are produced in NATURE-and MORE than what is in our fridges and AC units.It used to be the refrigeration designers creed was to make refrigerants that were non toxic,flammable,or explosive.The fridge must of had a leak in its systems and a spark from an electrical contact could have ignited the leak.In a car--under the hood-besides the spark plug cables and ignition systems you have the engines exhaust manifold that can get hot enough to ignite a flammable AC refrigerant.Its time to BAN flammable,explosive,and toxic refrigerants-peoples lives and property are at stake.Ammonia refrigerants are com,ing back to vogue-there was an incident where an ammonia leak from a chicken processing plant killed several people at another plant nearby.

Maybe not a nut job . . .

But a real piece of work. 

 

That joker clearly demonstrates that he doesn't know much about anything he's ranting over.  He just likes to hear himself talk.  I loved how after ten minutes, he states, "I don't know what to say," then continues to ramble for another two.  I was LOL over that line!

 

And he has subscribers?  SMH.

Hi Ralph, Yes I think your review was a little better, I just would never waste another 10 minutes watching this guy to learn about nothing, LOL

 

When Jay starts railing against environmentalists it is obvious he is just a DF. Anyone who thinks the solutions to the worlds climate problems are just going back to the way things were done in the 1960s is simply not offering any real help.
