    They are found in virtually every refrigerator, microwave, clothes dryer, space heater, and many more appliances found throughout the home. Another type of thermal switch is a PTC (Positive Temperature Coefficient) thermistor ; these thermistors have a "cutting off" temperature at which the resistance suddenly rises rapidly, limiting the ...

  4. Microwave oven - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_oven

    A microwave oven or simply microwave is an electric oven that heats and cooks food by exposing it to electromagnetic radiation in the microwave frequency range. [1] This induces polar molecules in the food to rotate and produce thermal energy in a process known as dielectric heating .

    Its origins are in microwave discharge light sources used for ultraviolet curing in the semiconductor and printing industries. Since 1994, General Electric has produced its induction lamp Genura with an integrated high frequency driver, operating at 2.65 MHz. In 1996, Osram started selling their Endura induction light system, operating at 250 kHz.

  8. Auto-defrost - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auto-defrost

    A defrost timer taken out of a household refrigerator. The defrost mechanism in a refrigerator heats the cooling element (evaporator coil) for a short period of time and melts the frost that has formed on it. [1] The resulting water drains through a duct at the back of the unit. Defrosting is controlled by an electric or electronic timer.

    Food in a refrigerator with its door open. A refrigerator, commonly shortened to fridge, is a commercial and home appliance consisting of a thermally insulated compartment and a heat pump (mechanical, electronic or chemical) that transfers heat from its inside to its external environment so that its inside is cooled to a temperature below the room temperature.
