Parshat: Vayigash
Yalkut Yosef: O"H: 345
Strictly speaking, it is permissible to open a refrigerator or freezer door on Shabbat regardless whether or not the motor happens to be running at that particular moment or not. However it is better if possible to wait until the motor is anyways running before opening the door. Obviously, this refers to where there is no light bulb that will turn on. (For more about what to do when there is a light bulb see DSH from Oct. 30, 2012.) It is also permissible to take cold water from a water cooler on Shabbat when the motor is not running. However, in this case as well, it is better to wait until the motor turns on by itself before using.
DSH is brought to you in memory of Rabbi Mordechai ben Daniel. Please visit us online at sephardichalacha.org |
