Essential Refrigerator Maintenance Tips

Published on: September 28, 2024
Your refrigerator works hard to keep your food fresh, but it needs regular care to run efficiently. Follow these tips to ensure your fridge stays in top condition:
1. Clean the Condenser Coils
Dust can force your fridge to work harder. Clean the coils every six months with a vacuum or brush.
2. Check Door Seals
Faulty seals can let cool air escape. Inspect and clean seals regularly for an airtight fit.
3. Set Optimal Temperatures
Keep your refrigerator between 37–40°F and your freezer at 0°F to maximize efficiency.
4. Avoid Overcrowding
Proper air circulation is key. Organize your fridge to prevent blockage of airflow.
5. Maintain Drip Pans and Drain Holes
Regularly clean the drip pan and drain hole to avoid clogs and leaks.
