Temperature sensors signal the compressor to start when the temperature inside the refrigerator rises above its set point. No refrigerator is completely airtight; cold air leaks out, and warmer air leaks in, causing the temperature to rise above its set point. As the compressor starts, it draws in the cold refrigerant gas in liquid form as it leaves the evaporator. Refrigerators use a type of refrigerant gas that turns into a liquid at very cold temperatures: -15.9 degrees Fahrenheit (-26.6 degrees Celsius). The compressor then puts pressure on the gas—compressing it. As the gas is compressed, its temperature goes up. The compressor pushes out the hot, compressed g
