Yes, it is generally possible to switch off a fridge without unplugging it, as most fridges come with a power control button or switch. The location and design of this switch might vary depending on the refrigerator model, but it is usually located on the control panel or near the temperature settings.
To turn off your fridge, look for a physical switch that is labeled as the power or on/off switch. Sometimes, it may be a button that you can press to toggle the power on or off. By using this switch, you can deactivate the fridge's compressor and other electrical components without having to unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Keep in mind that if you plan to switch off the fridge for an extended period, it's essential to empty it of all perishable items and clean it thoroughly to prevent the growth of mold and bacteria. Additionally, leaving the fridge completely off for a long time may result in a buildup of foul odors and humidity, so ensure proper ventilation and periodically check and clean the inside to maintain its freshness.
