Electrical faults must be dealt with in a timely manner, always check old and new
The master teacher is an electrician of a real estate company in the city. He has been in the industry for 20 years. He said that the spontaneous combustion of electrical appliances can be generally divided into two situations. One is that the appliance itself is self-igniting, and the other is the self-ignition of the house circuit caused by excessive electrical load. Mostly because of the long service life, the aging of electrical appliances, and the accidents of spontaneous combustion of newly purchased electrical appliances are rare.
The aging of the housing itself needs more attention. The protection measures for new houses are relatively in place. Old buildings need to be inspected frequently. He said: 'In daily life, it is best to share the electricity evenly. Never connect too much to the same outlet. Appliances. '
Liu Xuan, the property director of a residential area in Xiamen, has repeatedly participated in training in electrical work. He said that electrical appliances are made up of many electronic components. Even if they are qualified products, there may be failures. Although the probability of spontaneous combustion is low, it is not. He suggested that electric appliances must pay attention to working conditions, whether old or new, and should contact maintenance personnel in case of abnormal conditions. He said: 'There will be a process from the occurrence of faults to spontaneous combustion. Prompt handling can greatly reduce the occurrence of spontaneous combustion accidents.'

Appliances also have a lifespan
According to the requirements of “The Years for the Safe Use of Household Appliances and Similar Electrical Appliances and Recycling Use”, manufacturers must indicate the period of safe use of household appliances. For example, color TV 8 to 10 years, refrigerator 12 to 16 years, electric water heater 8 years, air conditioning 8 years By the end of 10 years, washing machines for 8 years, etc., beyond this period of time, there may be some problems with home appliances. Although household appliances are usually marked with the use of life, but few people pay attention.
Cut off the power before fire fighting. Recommended use of dry powder fire extinguishers
What happens to the public when an electrical self-ignition accident occurs at home? The fire department said that if the fire is too high, the public should escape from the safe passage as soon as possible and call 119 for assistance; if the fire is not high, they can self-extinguish fire.
For common electrical self-ignition, the public should pay attention to the first power off and then to the fire before the fire itself. The fire department recommends the use of dry powder fire extinguishers. Try not to use water.
The fire department also reminded that a small dry powder fire extinguisher can be equipped at home. In the event of a fire, there is no fire extinguisher at home. Generally, in the residential corridor, there are fire extinguisher boxes and dry powder fire extinguishers.

The following 4 reasons can cause the refrigerator to catch fire
1. The temperature of the junction box of the compressor is too high.
2. The voltage is too high instantaneously.
3. The wire is short-circuited. It is more common for rats to enter the interior of the refrigerator and snapping wires to cause a short circuit. The compressor is likely to gather around the crucible and there is also the potential for short circuits.
4. The thermostat malfunctions.
