Regular Cleaning of Condenser Coils
Dirt and dust accumulation on condenser coils reduces cooling efficiency and increases energy consumption. Clean coils at least twice a year using a vacuum or coil brush to maintain optimal performance.
Inspect and Replace Door Gaskets
Check door seals monthly for cracks, warping, or gaps. Replace damaged gaskets promptly to prevent air leaks that cause temperature fluctuations and excessive energy use.
Maintain Proper Temperature Settings
Verify that your appliance is set to factory-recommended temperatures. Keeping refrigerators between 37-40°F (3-4°C) and freezers at 0°F (-18°C) ensures food safety and efficient operation.
Check Water Filters Regularly
Replace water filters according to manufacturer recommendations, typically every 6 months, to ensure clean ice and water and prevent clogs and leaks.
Schedule Periodic Professional Tune-Ups
Regular professional inspections identify hidden problems early and optimize appliance operation. Schedule annual maintenance to protect your investment and avoid unplanned repairs.
