THE The magnets you put on the fridge are a real problem that must be taken into account, according to Bosch experts. The household appliance brand par excellence does not hesitate to answer the question that thousands of people are asking on social networks, since a problem with refrigerator magnets began to go viral. An element that is in every home and that may not be as good as we imagine, quite the contrary.
The time will come to start thinking about everything we have in front of us and something as essential as the consumption we have at home. We are looking for a thousand and one ways to end the consumption of electricity, through household appliances that may be particularly necessary for this daily life. It is time to prepare for what awaits us. Without a doubt, we will have to start thinking about what the experts say, so, in the end, we want to know if those magnets we have on our refrigerator are really true. Being a detail that can end up generating a hoax or perhaps a reality, Bosch reveals the truth to us.
Bosch is a specialist in refrigerators
This German company, present in Spain for more than 100 years, has become a world reference. In terms of quality, but also with a series of elements that go hand in hand and that perhaps until now we would never have imagined having before us.
Continuing with the presentation that this company makes on its own website: “Bosch began its journey in Barcelona more than 100 years ago, in 1908, through private representation contracts in Barcelona: the company Xaudaró Hermanos. In 1950, Bosch established commercial relations with the company Electro Diesel SA in Madrid, which it finally bought in 1968. Bosch started its own production in Spain in 1967 with the acquisition of 50% of the company Constructora Eléctrica Española SA (CEESA), a subsidiary of the passenger car and truck manufacturer Barreiros. Bosch’s activities in Spain took a major step forward in 1978, when it acquired a majority stake in the Spanish company Fábrica Española Magnetos, SA (FEMSA). Industrial activities in Spain are primarily focused on the mobility solutions sector with four production centers and on the household appliances sector. In the commercial area, Bosch is present in Spain with its full range of products and services, including the Bosch Communication Center. The Bosch Group headquarters is located in Madrid (Spain). Bosch currently has 14 sites in Spain. In 2022, Bosch generated sales of approximately 2,448 million euros in Spain. Currently, Bosch Spain employs approximately 8,000 people.
This is the real problem with magnets according to Bosch
Bosch answered a question in a German media called Gamestar in which he wondered about this problem that could ultimately make the difference. Being an essential detail that can end up making the difference in every way.
“If a few magnets are used on the refrigerator door, no malfunction of the appliance is expected. If necessary, scratches may occur on the surface. “If so many magnets are placed on the refrigerator door that the weight of the door increases significantly, the life of the door hinge may be shortened.”
The reason for this response from Bosch lies in a question that we may not be entirely prepared for, as German media outlet WMN reports: “The newer the refrigerator, the more likely it is to be damaged by magnets. Because in newer models, many technologies are integrated directly into the refrigerator door and do not get along as well with magnetic fields. If you still want to collect magnets, you can simply hang or place an iron plate anywhere in your kitchen, the main thing is that it is far enough away from your refrigerator!
A statement that set off all the alarms. We continue with this explanation: “Refrigerator magnets are not dangerous for health or for food preservation, but you should not have so many magnets on the refrigerator. Because they can create a magnetostatic field, which can damage the device itself and, therefore, also shorten longevity.
The debate is still open and invites us to know at any time what awaits us in our refrigerator after a few days in which we must take into account some essential data and that perhaps until now we had not taken into account. We will finally know the truth about the magnets on the refrigerator door that we all have.
