Iimmediately after you close it, why is the refrigerator door very difficult to open?

(a) It has acquired a habit which Newton called Inertia. Thus it wants to remain closed.

(b) It sucks.

(c) Refrigerator door is not a cabinet door that tends to stay open.

(d) None of the above.

 

Is it any easier after 1 year?

 

No....happens on new and old alike. didn't u know?

 

Nope. Never notice it.
Only ice is much harder to get, when you have hangover.

 

What about whether the light stays on when you close the door? Since you're asking this other question, I assume you've solved this conundrum to your satisfaction?

As to the door being harder to open just after closing it, I think there's a leprechaun in the fridge that holds onto the door whenever it's closed. He just gets tired after a few and lets go. Or, it has to do with a pressure difference between cold and warm air, until the fridge equalizes it.

Furthermore, why is fridge spelled with a D and refrigerator isn't?

 

During my grandfather's time, they were called Iceboxes, not refrigerators. A company called Fridgedaire made tons and tons of them back then. I guess, that's how iceboxes got the name fridge.

"Fridge" works well to serve as short form for both Frigedaire and Refrigerator.

How's my story telling? Hehe.

 

How come we don't call them refridgedaires?

 

I still have ice box on my boat. Opens hard no matter how long you wait.
I guess for security reasons?

 

Probably safety reasons. You don't want it to pop open when the boat is moving.

 

Actually I do. Too bad the ice box is 4 steps down from captain's chair.
You obviously know it is legal to drink alcohol and drive the boat?
