I don't know how this is not a bigger conversation. But in the London apartment building fire the explanation offered to how it started goes:
>Grenfell Tower resident Mahad Egal says his neighbour told him the fire started in his flat after his fridge exploded.
His refridgerator exploded? WTF? Is this a common thing in England to have fridges that spontaneously combust or something? Is there any more context here because this seems shady af..
I've never heard of a fridge fire in my life but it seems the gas in the compresser was changed to a more greenhouse friendly gas a few years ago and you can get a defect ( i hope it's a defect) in the fridge where the gas leaks from the compressor into the fridge compartment overnight and explodes.
I do wonder about that. Exploding fridges seem somewhat uncommon.

The 9/11 towers were wired up with old fridges the jews couldn't sell because they weren't up to modern safety codes
>the more you know
Fridges don't explode. But if you leave gas on in a house or apartment and it hits the pilot light behind the fridge.. that will do it.
>>130205422
That's expected to happen when you put your shoes in the fridge
>>130206378
>Hitler was trying to give the jews access to fridges, not oven them
>>130206079
isobutane. also, it's not a defect, it's a feature.
>>130205422
This is a built in mechanism, It automatically triggers when the fridge detects a britbong trying to leave the house with a knife
>>130205422
He was keeping his bombs in the fridge, so it makes perfect sense.
>>130206378
i'm always very careful with the pilot light on my fridge. got burned once and that was enough!
No need to question the narrative. My friend is a lawyer and he said that's totally true. Plus I'm pretty sure they found the fridge's passport in the wreckage.
Don't sweat it man. Go to sleep.
>>130206378
>pilot light behind fridge
it's "when the compressor kicks on" and stop trying to quote meme club you dumb cunt
>>130207001
That's how they do it in Australia. Ever moved your fridge and seen what's under it? Now imagine the spider problem they have in Australia.
Think about it. It makes a lot of sense.
>flat
its called an apartment. why can't brits into english? its a trunk, not a 'boot', thats something you wear on your feet. you aren't going to hospital, you're going to the hospital.
It's a tragedy to be sure, but the REAL tragedy is the startling uptick in pyrophobia. London is a city of millions — fires are part and parcel of living in a big city.
>>130205422
you need to be medically brain dead to believe the refrigerator story
>>130205422
Im guessing this is not that uncommon when storing explosives in said fridge.
>>130207286
Grow up.

you call the bonnet a hood,its the bonnet m8
>>130207740
It's called a rump, not a boot, m8.
boots are what you put on the wheely-deely-doos.
In b4 isis refugee making bomb goes bad. Or good?
>>130206866
memes aside, there is something that gets extremely hot in the ice maker that i legit burned my finger on before.

you probably call the stove a "hob" too you filthy limey tooth-sucking british bastard

Some refrigerators are gas/propane powered you dipshit. They do have a pilot light.
>>130208148
That's the Jews charging you more shekels so the ice maker has to work harder to keep the ice from melting.
A Britbong would have to answer if they are common there, but I have a propane powered refrigerator- it just uses a pilot light to boil the ammonia which acts as the coolant. They are still made and might be sold where gas is cheap relative to electricity

the "story" is obvious bullshit. he was probably cooking on an open fire in his living room or some other such bullshit.
the fire started and he ran for it.

How Refrigerators Work
BYMARSHALL BRAIN&SARA ELLIOTT
Gas and Propane Refrigerators
PREVNEXT
If you own anRV, chances are you have a gas- or propane-powered refrigerator. These refrigerators are interesting because they have no moving parts and use gas or propane as their primary energy source. Also, they use heat to produce the cold inside the refrigerator.
A gas refrigerator usesammoniaas the coolant, and water, ammonia and hydrogen gas to create a continuous cycle for the ammonia. The refrigerator has five main parts:
Generator- creates ammonia gasSeparator- separates the ammonia gas from waterCondenser- where hot ammonia gas is cooled and condensed to create liquid ammoniaEvaporator- where liquid ammonia converts to a gas to create cold temperatures inside the refrigeratorAbsorber- absorbs the ammonia gas in water
It works like this:
Heat is applied to the ammonia and water solution in the generator. (The heat comes from burning gas, propane or kerosene.)As the mixture reaches the boiling point of ammonia, it flows into the separator.Ammonia gas flows upward into the condenser, dissipates heat and converts back to a liquid.The liquid ammonia makes its way to the evaporator where it mixes with hydrogen gas and evaporates, producing cold temperatures inside the refrigerator's cold box.The ammonia and hydrogen gases flow to the absorber where the water collected in the separator in step No. 2 mixes with the ammonia and hydrogen gases.The ammonia forms a solution with the water and releases the hydrogen gas, which flows back to the evaporator.The ammonia-and-water solution flows toward the generator to repeat the cycle.

You know, if someone really wanted to kill mudslimes in the UK, all they'd need to do is rent an apt in one of those big high-rises and accidentally set their flat on fire while out for dinner.
Just go around burning down mudslime filled apartments, ez.

>not common. i have never come across on in this country.
When did you become a fridge expert? Not common still implies they still may have them.
>>130205422
Alot of pressure in those refrigerator compressors.
Maybe it was a propane mixture? ( Actually a better refrigerant than Freon surprisingly. Highly explosive situation.)
>>130209279
Refrigerators can't melt highrises.
>>130209279
i have been in hundreds of properties as part of my work and never seen one like that. i dont even think they sell them in shops.
you would have to buy one for a caravan or something?
>>130206079
same with ghostship oakland fire
idk about these exploding fridges m8
quality control is fucking up
>>130205422
Remember to report all sightings of non-humans in your area to the local authorities.

I've heard they're popular with the Amish here because that gets around the "no electricity" rule.
It's actually a pretty neat design. As I live where gas is cheap and never goes off, I'd take one. It fucking sucks when the power goes out and everything melts and rots.
>>130205422
They tend to do that when they are filled with volatile, homemade explosives.

Don't really buy it, (((someone))) needed the new europeans to chimp out.
>>130208148
Because what you feel as cold is the absence of heat. It's literally sucking the heat from the area and storing/venting it somewhere else.

That's hearsay.
