A refrigerator runs every hour of every day. A few simple habits can add years to its working life.
Your refrigerator works harder than almost any other appliance in your home, running continuously to keep food safe. With a little regular care, most refrigerators can run well past their expected lifespan.
Dust and pet hair on the condenser coils force the compressor to work harder than it should. A simple vacuum or brush cleaning twice a year keeps the system running efficiently.
Wipe down the rubber door gaskets regularly to prevent food residue from breaking the seal, which forces the fridge to work harder to stay cold.
Air needs to circulate around stored food for even cooling. An overpacked fridge blocks airflow and creates uneven temperatures.
Keep the fridge between 37°F and 40°F. Setting it colder than necessary adds unnecessary strain on the compressor.
Leave a few inches of space around the back and sides of the refrigerator so heat can escape properly from the coils.
We repair cooling issues, leaks, and ice maker problems for all major refrigerator brands.
