With HC if there is a system leak will there be fire?
If a leak takes place in the evaporator of a refrigerator then it can be seen that there is every possibility of a hazard as the three essentials for a fire i.e. gas (due to leakage), air (exists inside the refrigerator) and a spark (from thermostat contacts, floor switch and lamp holder) are all available. That is why these components are replaced by sealed or non explosive components. Like wise leaks near the compressor can create an explosive situation if there are sparking components like relays and overloads which have to be replaced by PTCs and sealed OLPs.
