Refrigerator Maintenance
Your refrigerator protects your groceries every hour of the day, so keeping it in top condition is essential. Regular maintenance improves cooling efficiency, reduces wear on critical components, and helps keep energy bills under control.
How can you keep your refrigerator running efficiently?
- Keep the refrigerator about 75% full without blocking interior air vents.
- Leave space between food items so cold air circulates evenly.
- Maintain a refrigerator temperature of 37°F and a freezer temperature of 0°F.
- Clean the condenser coils every 6 to 12 months to remove dust and improve airflow.
- Clean up spills quickly to prevent odors and bacteria.
- Pay attention to clicking, buzzing, or loud humming sounds that were not there before.
- Is your refrigerator running constantly or struggling to stay cold?
These are common signs that professional service may be needed before any major fault.
