Maintenance Tips to Avoid Refrigerator Repair
Making sure that your
refrigerator is running properly
will help to avoid any future
repair bills. There are several
things that you can do to
maintain your refrigerator on
your own. These suggestions will
help you to keep your food cold
and prevent spoiling. You will
also ensure that you keep the
refrigerator in good operating
condition. If you follow these ideas, you will keep your refrigerator running
for years to come and save you money.
Make Sure You Set the Proper Temperature
It is important that your refrigerator is set at the proper temperature. You
should set it somewhere right in the middle so that it maintains somewhere
between 37 and 40 degrees Fahrenheit. The freezer should always remain at
zero.
Keeping Coils Clean
The coils on your refrigerator can become covered with dust and dirt. It is
important to clean them no less than twice a year. Pull the refrigerator out
from the wall and wipe the dust off. You can use a damp cloth with a little bit
of all-purpose cleaner sprayed on it. You can also vacuum the dust off with a
vacuum that has a hose and a brush attachment. Make sure you unplug the
refrigerator before you begin cleaning the coils.
Having Tight Door Seals
Make sure that the seals on the doors of your refrigerator seal tightly.
Otherwise, cold air could escape. Try the dollar bill test. Insert a dollar bill

between the door and the refrigerator until the bill is sticking halfway out. If
you can easily pull the bill out, you should have someone come to repair the
seals. Also, make sure you clean the seals on a regular basis to keep them
free of dirt and food residue.
Keeping Your Refrigerator Full
Keep food in your refrigerator even if it is just take-out containers from a
restaurant. Food and drinks help to absorb the warm air that enters the
refrigerator when you open the door. It will not keep the inside properly
cooled if there is not enough stuff in it to maintain the temperature.
