if you have a fridge/freezer why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

it has more to do with the differant tempatures\nto put a light in the freezer you need to shield it from the frozen tempatures\n\nin the fridge this is nota prob since tempatures are above 32 deg fahrenhiet

You have to turn one light on for a while so that it'll warm up, turn it off and then turn another light on. then you can go into the room and feel the two unlit bulbs - whichever one is warm is the first one. The lit bulb is the second and the cold bulb is the third\n\n=)

Well it depends on the brand and popularity of the fridge you are working on.  Find the model number on the fridge (sometimes inside, other times it will be on the back near where the power cord enters).  Now search google for any topics on the fridge.  If that doesn't work, with the model number add a space and a .pdf in google and see what you can find...most schematics are in this Adobe format.  \n\nAnother idea is to look around the fridge itself for a schematic, one of mine has it behind a light cover in the freezer, another I have seen had it in a little packet zip tied to the coils in the rear.  It may also be printed on the panel with the power requirements.  \n\nIf you want to post the model number I will see what I can find for you.\n\nMike

A fridge doesn't fart when you take your meat out

Ice takes up more volume than water, so the pressure is higher when you have the water in the freezer.  Crystals form at lower energies where entropy is lower, and higher pressure is equivalent to higher energy, so water remains a liquid.\n\nWhen you open it the pressure is released.  Gas expanding cools the air (entropy again) thus making the surface of the water lower in energy and promoting crystalization.  Poke a hole in the bottle and try this and the crystals will form in the freezer before you open it.

1. Someone said heat rises - not true. Warm air is lighter than cold air, so warm air rises. The evaporator of the fridge being on top will give a more even 'cold' distribution. If the evaporator was on the bottom, the bottom of the fridge would always be colder than the top.\n2. Cold air is heavier than warm air. If the freezer is open on top, the cold air will not escape. If the freezer is upright, with no doors, the freezer will lose all of it's 'cold' air, it will spill out of the freezer.\n3. Radiation\n4. Pit vipers have an infrared sensor. It picks up the heat generated by the rat's body heat, in the form of radiation.\n5. speed of light.

It is called the energy of activation or activation energy. The bacteria and maybe fungi cannot multiply at the reduced temps so the food will not be attacked by the microbes.Also proteins don't breakdown quickly at lower temps so the food will be fresh when it defrosts

Generally, appliances use electricity.  Some small amount of it is transformed to movement or light.  The majority of electricity is transformed to hear, which is dissipated to the environment.  Waste hear generated in this manner cannot effectively be captured and used for anything useful.  However, the waste heat generated by the refrigerator, light bulbs, and ovens will reduce the heat needed to keep your house warm in the winter.

Why not cut the back off your fridge, then close the door and have a look through the back?

Easy, every substance has a melting/freezing point. Just because substances are in a liquid state at... room temperature (25 celcius), doesnt mean that one wont freeze at 20 Celcius and another at... -15 Celcius make sense right? \n\nWell when you disolve things into a liquid (which are at that point called electrolites I believe, the things you disolve into the liquid that is) you change the freezing point of that liquid. \n\nFor example water, plain freshwater freezes at 32 Ferinheight, but you add 3% salt to it and you have saltwater right. And the freezing point of saltwater which only has a very little bit of salt in it now freezes at around 0 Ferinheight.\n\nSo iced tea has a bunch of crap added to it so it could very easy change the temperature that that specific liquid freezes. \n\nAnother very important note is that if it is in the back of the fridge, then that is where it could easily be below 30 degrees and it could freeze up. It is way colder in the back of the fridge then in the front.

They want to be really sure it's out before the go to all the trouble of figuring out how to change it.  Some kinds of fluorescent lights will sometimes come back for a few minutes if you to that, though.\n\n_____\nThe previous answer explains why the would turn it off and then on, but the question asks about on and then off :-P

The light is to indicate Hard drive activity. It is a meaningless today and you can safely ignore it. On systems I build I don't even bother to plug that in.\n\nBack in the days of DOS it was a usefull part of a computer. If you had HD activity but was not saving something or had no other reason to see HD activity it could mean you had a virus.  Today's multi-tasking OS's are complex beasts and even if your machine is doing nothing the system is writing/deleting cache files, defragmenting, indexing files and a host of other tasks.

1. Some kind of compressor problem, probably, unless the fridge is *really* old and uses freon. In which case you should get a new fridge.\n\n2. That's silly. Rotten food is rotten. You can't change it to unrotten by any method besides time travel.

There is actually no such thing as "cold". What we mean by cold is really the "absence of heat". The heat is what is flowing out of your hand and into the ice, causing the ice to melt. Cold does not flow because cold does not exist. \nWhen I was in college we decided that it would be fun to invent the "electric dark bulb". It would shine darkness out in all directions, leaving well lit shadows behind objects that got in the way of the dark rays. But try as we might, we could never get a bulb that would shine dark rays. Cold is like that. I wish Arnold Schwartzenegger had known this when he decided to attack Gotham City with his freeze ray. It was doomed from the start, whether Batman showed up or not.

b/c a constant amt. of electricity is going into it, and it will only get brighter if you add more electricity to it, or get a brighter bulb!
