Hi Sab L, It’s completely natural to expect a fridge to hold up over time. When something you use every day starts falling apart, it can be really frustrating. Let us provide details to help with your experience. Plastic drawers in refrigerators can break for several reasons, most of which are related to material stress and temperature effects. Here's a breakdown of the common causes: 1. Cold Temperature Makes Plastic Brittle: Refrigerator drawers are made from polystyrene or similar plastics that become more brittle at low temperatures. When the plastic is cold, it's less flexible and more prone to cracking or breaking under pressure or impact. 2. Overloading: Storing too much food or heavy items in the drawer puts stress on the plastic, especially when pulling it in and out. Overloaded drawers can crack at the runners, corners, or bottom. 3. Improper Use: Slamming the drawer shut or pulling it out too forcefully can crack the plastic. Leaning or standing on open drawers (kids or during cleaning) can also lead to breaks. 4. Age and UV Exposure: Over time, plastic degrades. If a fridge has a clear drawer, UV light exposure (even from the fridge light) can make it yellow and brittle. Aging plastic loses elasticity and cracks more easily. Tips to Prevent Breakage: a. Avoid overloading drawers. b. Let drawers warm up slightly before removing them for cleaning. c. Handle with care, especially in cold conditions.
