If this was truly the frig and not due to contents, I have to believe it is extremely rare. Recently I had a bathtub enclosure glass door explode in a guest bath. When I talked to the manufacturer, their response “yea that happens sometimes.” What??? Went online and found this can happen with tempered glass. Thankfully, no one was in the bathroom at the time. Rare events DO happen to somebody. I hate being one of them.
TOTV is a great resource. The only place I’ve ever read of exploding refrigerators. Educated consumer is a safe consumer.
As to this frig, I do hope there is a thorough investigation so the rest of us can make any necessary corrections in our own kitchens, if needed.
