Refrigerator Maintenance
A broken down refrigerator can be very frustrating as you loose hundred of dollars in food spoils. By doing the following you can maintain and care for your refrigerator and significantly reduce these occurrences.
Clean Condenser Coils
It’s very important to keep your refrigerator’s condenser coils clean and free from anything that can restrict airflow. Dust and fur can often form a blanket on the condenser coil. This restricts airflow that is meant to cool the condenser. When this happens, the refrigerator must work harder. It will take much longer to reach the set temperature, reducing its efficiency and longevity. It is important to have your condenser coils cleaned, at least once every 6 months.
Keeping Door Gaskets Clean
It is important to keep the inside of your refrigerator clean. Spills will often find their way to the door gasket. If not cleaned regularly, the the gasket will become sticky. The repetitive pulling on the gasket, when opening and closing the door, will eventually cause a tear.
Replace Water Filter
Its recommended to replace the refrigerator water filter at least once ever 6 months. However, some may need to be change more frequently, depending on your household water supply. Particles from your water are filtered out and trapped within the filter. If left unchanged for an extended period of time, it most definitely will lead to a water flow restriction or blockage.
