Huh? There are no refrigerators that don't have that feature.
- GavinMcG 2y ago“That feature add” referred to auto-closure, I’d imagine.
- mulmen 2y agoEvery refrigerator I have used does this with gravity.
- progval 2y agoPerhaps a regional specificity? Personally I've never seen such an auto-closing fridge in France.
- mulmen 2y agoIt’s nothing special. The fridge is just leveled so the hinge is slightly higher on both sides. The door then naturally swings closed. Do French refrigerators have some kind of mechanism that would prevent this? Like a latch of some kind?
- progval 2y agoWe just have them perfectly level, so the door does not move at all on its own.
- poincaredisk 2y agoYou are not insane, I have also never seen any fridge that auto closes (I'm from central Europe).
- thaumasiotes 2y ago> “That feature add” referred to auto-closure, I’d imagine. Yes, of course; what do you think the alternative was? There are no refrigerators that don't have that feature.
- GavinMcG 2y agoBased on my experience, that statement is not only wrong, but obviously so. Because of that, I assumed it was not what you meant.
- thaumasiotes 2y agoYou should try using a fridge sometime.
- recursive 2y agoKind of. My home refrigerator does this and it just works. The one at work regular gets hung up nearly shut. There's a local minimum in the almost closed state. It only has enough momentum to close if builds up enough speed. The ideal refrigerator should self close from any angle of open-ness. This is definitely not the case in general today.
