The condenser coils (usually behind or under the fridge) collect dust, which reduces cooling efficiency. Clean them every 3-4 months.
A loose or dirty rubber gasket allows cold air to escape, forcing the fridge to work harder. Simply cleaning the seal with mild soap can improve performance.
Good airflow is essential. Overpacking blocks vents and stresses the motor.
Putting hot or warm food directly inside increases the internal temperature and makes the compressor work extra hard.
Thick layers of ice reduce cooling efficiency. Manual defrosting helps maintain performance and save energy.
A well-maintained refrigerator can last more than 10-15 years. With a little attention and regular cleaning, you can en joytop-notch cooling while lowering your electricity costs.
