These Items Should Never Be Stored on Top of the Fridge

• Electronics & Batteries: Heat + vibration = leaks, corrosion, or damage.
• Plastic Containers: Some plastics release chemicals when warmed. Best avoided.
• Anything Heavy: Extra weight can strain the compressor and shorten the fridge’s life. That means no heavy pots, books, or decorative plants either.

Rethinking Storage

My hunt for extra space ended with a wake-up call. While stacking stuff on top of the fridge seems harmless, it can lead to spoiled food, safety hazards, or even a shorter appliance lifespan. So now, I’m relocating a few items and—fingers crossed—working toward a slightly more organized setup.
