Sun, Jul 03 2022Indeed sad news .. Earthing connection to all home appliance are very important to reduce electric risk .. otherwise device with metal body are very dangerous n fatal .. Who is the reason for this cause ? - is the untrained electrician who repaired or installed this fridge ? - is he refrigerator company who make fault wiring ? - is the carelessness of house members ?
