Your Fridge Doesn't Make Cold

It pumps heat out of the box and dumps it into your kitchen

The box that keeps your milk cold is also heating your kitchen, and you can feel it with one hand. How?

You'll find out

  • Why the coils outside feel warm
  • How boiling can make something cold
  • What an open fridge does to a room

Why it matters

Your fridge, your air conditioner and a heat pump all run the same loop. Learn it once, get all three.
