Keep Your Refrigerator/Freezer In Good Working Order
The latest refrigerator/freezers are great at saving energy and offering convenience, but many new features require sophisticated programming and circuitry that simply isn’t built to last as long as the energy hogs of previous generations. To help you extend serviceability over time, be mindful of a few small maintenance recommendations.
Two of the most important ways to keep your fridge/freezer running efficiently is to ensure all door seals are intact, and to keep the condenser coils free of dust, debris and clutter. The fragile coils are usually situated above, below or behind the unit, often protected by a screen or grill, to provide undisrupted access to cooler air. They should be carefully (gently) dusted at least once a year. The third maintenance step is to
make sure any water or ice dispensers are clear and free-flowing.
