Has anyone paid attention on how much heat the refrigerator produces? I haven't until tonight. Walking by my new Samsung refrigerator I felt so warm at my foot, right at the edge on the side of the fridge where air blows out from underneath. I got curious and stuck my foot behind it, it is even warmer, I would say hot. Got my laser thermometer out and shot around the floor
- 70-71 degrees on the floor around my house.
- 73-75 degrees on the floor right at the edge of the fridge. It is warmer toward the back.
- There is a vent on the back of the fridge, the wall right at that vent is 90 degrees.
- Pulling the fridge away form the wall, I pointed the laser right at the metal vent, it's 96 degrees, if I remember right.
- Pointing through the vent, to the inside, right at some internal parts: the compressor (black round metal part the size of the basket ball), and some copper piping in there, it's 107 degrees.

I wonder if that is normal? Anyone ever get curious and measure the temperatures on your refrigerator?

Thanks.
