During winter storage, dead leaves blew into the rooftop vent for the refrigerator.
The leaves jammed between the metal chimney that is covered by the plastic cover cap.
My concern is the dead leaves obstruct the air flow up the duct and cause loss of efficiency of the refrigerator.
Or worse yet, the obstructed air flow causes the high temperature side of the system to overheat and the leaves catch on fire.
That could be a disaster since the rubber membrane for the roof is probably not fireproof.
I cleaned the leaves out of the vent cover.
Does anyone else have this problem?
I guess the solution is don't park under trees.
Note: I don't think the squirrel had anything to do with the leaves getting trapped under the refrigerator roof vent. He was just up on the roof minding his own business.
