Like ACs, a gas leak in a refrigerator can also cause problems. But do you know why a refrigerator leaks? Today, we're going to tell you some of the main reasons for gas leaks. Regardless of the season, winter or summer, a refrigerator is always needed. Therefore, if the refrigerator isn't cooling properly, problems begin to arise.

First Reason: Rust in Aluminum/Copper Coils
The refrigerator's cooling coils are made of copper or aluminum. However, over time, moisture can cause corrosion, causing small holes to form on the coils, and gas can leak through these holes.

Second Reason: The Compressor Seal
The compressor can be a major reason for a refrigerator's lack of cooling. It has a seal, but over time, this seal begins to loosen, causing gas to slowly leak, and the refrigerator can't cool properly.

Third Reason: Repairs Can Also Be a Reason

What are the risks of gas leakage?
If gas continues to leak from the refrigerator, it won't cool properly, and the food in the refrigerator will start to spoil. This can increase not only the food in the refrigerator but also the electricity bill, as the pressure on the compressor forces it to draw more power.
