Be careful!
Experts are warning against a new trend which is sweeping across TikTok during this week’s soaring temperatures, which could risk electric shock.
The hack, which went viral on TikTok, shows users tying bags of ice to their electric fans while in use, in the hope of blowing colder air throughout their homes. Attaching bags of ice above an electric device, such as a fan, risks water coming into contact with the motor, increasing the risk of not only electric shock but damaging your fan completely.
"However, most importantly, the water that melts from the bag has a chance of coming into contact with the motor and causing an electric shock risk to anyone touching the fan.” Don't balance your fan on the edge of a surface Always place your fan on a flat stable surface. If your fan is balanced on the edge of a surface, or has items attached to it, such as a bag of ice, it could tip over. This would cause the blades to hit the guard and put the motor under additional strain, as well as potentially breaking your fan altogether.
