Don't let it stop you from eating your egg salad sandwich, Karen! - Lemmy.World

This is on the fridge at work today.

I’m trying to figure out what kind of defect would cause that. The heating elements of a fridge, the air exchange that has the hotter refrigerant, are all outside the box I believe. If the compressor fails, the refrigerant doesn’t move and doesn’t move heat. So it’d just be an insulated box, right? I think that’d get hotter an ambient but I’m not sure I’d say it’s “heating”.
just install the compressor in reverse and done you got a heater.
Yep. But you can just install a valve for the refrigerant and that’s how you get a selectable heat pump.
