Putting my printer on top of my mini-fridge?

Question

Is it ok? Any possible electrical dangers or such? Very small mini-fridge that i want to put in my room, and if i actually do, i have to put printer on top.? Is there any risk or bad electrical or anything that's wrong about that? My mom says That the cold will ruin the printer... is it true?

Answer 1

It will be fine.  First of all, if it is cold outside of your fridge, there's a problem with the insulation, and second of all, a little cold is not going to affect electronic equiptment.  The only electrical danger would be if you're plugging in way too many things into one outlet.

Answer 2

it should be just fine.  the only thing I would think could hurt it would be slamming the fridge door closed, and rocking the printer till it fell off.  If you are really worried, get a piece of plywood to put between the two, or an old towel.  that will be more than enough to block any cold coming out of the fridge.

Answer 3

It's O.K. but, remember to make sure it doesn't get to hot for the printer, these objects sometimes get hot spots on them, not good for printer.

Answer 4

The cold won't be on the outside. It'll be fine.

Answer 5

Not good. A fridge's sides are extremely hot, putting your printer on top will overheat it. Also, you will risk printer leaks since the heat causes the nozzles to expand.

Answer 6

Cold will not be your problem.

That fridge rejects heat from the coils at the rear.

Just be sure you allow that heat some draft to escape.

Don't cover the gap in the back with the printer or

it's paper. Your printer needs to cool itself too.

Keep the printer cables clear of the back of the fridge

as well. You do not want them to tangle in that grid

back there.
