Refrigerator maintenance can be a simple DIY project that will keep your fridge running like new and can greatly extend the life and efficiency of your unit.
Every year:
- Clean your cooling coils by vacuuming or dusting them. This will most likely require you to remove a grill grate or cover. Refer to your user manual if you need help finding them.
- Replace or clean the water filter if your fridge has an automatic ice maker or water dispenser
- Clean door gaskets with a wet cloth to make sure that the refrigerator is sealing properly. A solid seal will save you money and protect your food from spoilage.
