How To Care For Your Refrigerator 

Wash Off The Condenser Coils Twice A Year

Condenser coils are responsible for removing heat from refrigerators and freezers. They're the large, radiator-like coils located at the back or beneath the unit. When dust and dirt cling to the coils, it's harder for the refrigerator to remove heat. The result is increased energy consumption. Without regular cleaning, this can lead to problems and costly repairs. Use this long-handled bristle brush and a vacuum to easily and efficiently clean off the coils. Follow your refrigerator owner's manual for specific instructions related to it.



Clean and replace the gasket (rubber door seal) as needed
The gasket is the rubber seal that outlines your refrigerator and freezer doors. It's an often overlooked part that has the critical job of sealing out warm air. Clean it periodically with a universal cleaner such as Goo Gone Concentrated Spray. Over time, gaskets wear and no longer seal the way refrigerators and freezers need to operate efficiently. It's common for gaskets to weaken, loosen and tear within just a few years. When this happens, warm air enters the interior of the refrigerator or freezer, making it work harder to remove the heat. That means more energy consumed and higher bills for you. Fortunately, gaskets are inexpensive and usually very easy to replace.
