Due to the impact of a series of climate changes such as the northward shift of the precipitation line and the impact of typhoons on land, some areas of my country have recently experienced extreme weather such as concentrated heavy rainfall, and many places have been hit by heavy rain. Some areas with super heavy rainfall even experienced waterlogging, and stations were blocked. Flooded, some roads were closed, the train system was delayed, some residents’ homes were also invaded by water, and furniture and appliances were soaked in water.
Now, relevant departments and disaster relief forces have rushed to the scene, drainage work and disaster relief work are also proceeding in an orderly manner, and the lives of the citizens have gradually returned to their original state, but household appliances that have been soaked in water and damp will not happen soon Just restore the original state.
Some industry insiders pointed out that home appliances are composed of circuit boards, metal components, wires and other parts. These parts are very sensitive to water vapor, so damp home appliances will affect their reuse, especially if they are home appliances that have been soaked in water. Home appliances that are particularly damp may even short-circuit, catch fire, explode, etc., so special attention should be paid to the handling of damp home appliances.
How to deal with household appliances that have been soaked in water and damp? First of all, it is best to open the machine (but don’t disassemble the shell easily) and put it in a well-ventilated place to dry to clear the residual water vapor in the machine; secondly, don’t try to start the machine for inspection by yourself, you should ask a maintenance worker with electrician knowledge and repair knowledge Personnel come to check; finally, it is best to check the circuit conditions in the home to ensure the safety of electricity use.
And for specific categories of home appliances, there should be different handling methods.
Refrigerator and washing machine: Refrigerator and washing machine are generally placed directly on the ground in a lower position among household appliances, so they are the household appliances that are most likely to be affected by water and moisture, and such household appliances should be placed in a dry place first. After drying, it is necessary to ask maintenance personnel to deal with it. General users of such large electrical appliances cannot handle it, so it is better to ask professional staff to deal with it.
Color TV: TV is a very slender and sensitive home appliance. The circuit inside is precise and compact, as well as chips and processors. If water enters, it is easy to cause problems. Therefore, in addition to drying and ventilating, you must first get information The after-sales personnel of the color TV manufacturer, ask how to deal with the damp color TV, and then ask the staff to come to check.
Air conditioner: In people’s homes, most air conditioners are on-hook and installed at high positions. Generally speaking, the chance of water ingress is small, but the outdoor unit of the air conditioner is easy to ingress of water. The outdoor unit of the air conditioner installed outdoors is not only exposed to wind and rain, but when the outdoor water level rises, it is almost completely submerged in water. In addition, outdoor units that have been soaked in outdoor water for a period of time may be infected with parasites and bacteria. Therefore, in addition to safety inspections, it is best to have a hygienic cleaning process.
