In many kitchens, the space between the refrigerator and the ceiling is often tempting to use as additional storage space. Especially in small kitchens, this may seem like a practical solution. UAportal has mentioned that there are certain items that should never be on top of the refrigerator, as this can lead to undesirable consequences.

Microwave oven

In many families, you may often see microwaves placed on top of refrigerators. However, putting a microwave on top of a refrigerator can cause damage to the refrigerator, especially if there is no space between the appliances. Even if the microwave has feet, the vibrations from the refrigerator can cause it to fall.

Flower pot

Although there is no direct negative impact from placing a flowerpot on the refrigerator, there may be problems with watering the plants. Water can seep through the holes in the bottom of the pot and damage the refrigerator. This can lead to unwanted leaks or even affect the functionality of the appliance.

Bird cage

Feathers can get inside the refrigerator when the door is opened, which can contaminate the food stored inside. It is important to prioritize food safety and avoid any potential cross-contamination by making sure that the bird and its cage are placed away from the refrigerator.
