In summary, a refrigerator's purpose is to keep food and drinks cold, while also extending their shelf life by slowing down the growth of bacteria. It works by compressing a refrigerant gas, which then circulates through the inside of the fridge, absorbing heat and keeping the contents cold. The recommended temperature range for a refrigerator is between 35-38 degrees Fahrenheit to keep food fresh. It should be cleaned at least once a month to prevent bacteria growth, and common problems include not cooling properly, leaking water, and making loud noises due to various factors such as a faulty compressor or clogged drain.
