Earlier this week, we did a Blog Post outlining a few simple refrigerator maintenance tips to help keep your 'fridge running smoothly all year long. Here are a few more timely tips that our Our chief technician recommends:

2) Frost buildup is also a well-known culprit to reduce energy efficiency. If you don't own a frost-free unit, it's always best to defrost refrigerators and freezers as often as recommended by the manufacturer to keep frost build-up from bogging down operating efficiency. While you're at it, it's a good idea to check temperature settings inside the fridge & freezer. Your refrigerator ideally should be running at 35 to 40 degrees F, and the freezer at 0 to 5 degrees F.

4) Don't overload the 'fridge. Stocking too many room-temperature items such as cans of soda or bottles
of juice inside the unit causes it to work harder at cooling. Just stock sufficient amounts to cover your needs for a day or so.
5) Avoid storing perishable foods in the refrigerator door. The temperature of the storage bins in the door itself fluctuate more than the temperature inside the 'fridge. For example, eggs should always be stored in the carton on a shelf.
My refrigerator is giving off a rather horrible odor. I have the fridge completely empty and scrubbed clean. Either I had something that went bad in the fridge, or the fridge is broken. Fridges shouldn't naturally smell, should they?

I never realized that it made such a big difference to have your food covered in the fridge. This is very good to know! I'll have to make sure that I do this from now on to avoid any issues with the compressor in the future. Thanks for sharing your suggestions with us! http://www.mastertechca.com/appliance-repair/2039378
ReplyDeleteYou have some really great suggestions for how to keep your refrigerator in good condition! My fridge has been having a difficult time working properly, and it is probably because I am not using it correctly. I will be sure that the temperature settings are good and that I don't overload the fridge. Hopefully this will help my fridge run better, but it might be a good idea to just get someone to come and look at it in case. Thanks for the great post! http://www.allapplianceservice.biz
ReplyDeleteI never realized that keeping your food covered actually helps to keep it colder. I'm going to have to start doing that for sure. We have been having a couple of problems with our food not getting cold enough in the fridge recently. I think a big part of the problem is that we over fill it. http://www.promptappliance.com
