Fridge · End of use

Why must an unwanted fridge be collected through a suitable recycling route?

A refrigerator contains materials and a sealed cooling system that require appropriate handling. It should not be dismantled at home to make collection easier.

What the observation tells you

Cutting pipes or removing electrical components can create hazards and prevent correct treatment. An appliance left accessible can also create risks for children. Collection instructions may include specific preparation, but they do not authorise untrained work on the refrigerant circuit.

A useful next step

Use an appropriate local collection or recycling service and follow its requirements. Keep the appliance secure while awaiting removal. Arrange competent disconnection and handling where access is difficult, rather than breaking the unit into parts.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
