When the heat is on during a heat wave, your refrigerator will have to work even harder to keep the food fresh and safe. Today's fridges are built to operate in warm temperatures, but high temperatures can cause excessive energy consumption, inefficiency and damage to the fridge if it is not maintained properly.
