3 Common Refrigerator Problems
Our household appliances are used on a daily basis
which means they can experience problems every

Not Cooling Properly - If your refrigerator isn't
cooling properly, there are a few things that could

Helpful Refrigerator Maintenance Tips:
- Regularly clean the shelves and gaskets. Once every three months is
the general recommendation.
- Make sure the coils on the back of the refrigerator are clean. This can
be easily done with a vacuum cleaner.
- Replace the ice maker or water dispenser filter at least every 6
months.
- Keep your refrigerator temperature set at 37 degrees Fahrenheit and
the freezer at 0 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Clean the gaskets with vinegar to prevent mildew.
You should contact your local appliance repair technician at the first sign of
refrigerator issues before they turn into even bigger ones. Refrigerators can
be expensive but often times, these issues are easily fixed by an appliance
specialist.
