Refrigerator
Refrigerators are essential appliances required for preserving and keeping food cool. As a result, when they become faulty, it can lead to food spoilage and affect our dietary routines.
HOW TO LOOK AFTER YOUR Fridge
Clean Thoroughly
Set The Correct Temperature
Clean Thoroughly
To clean the interior, remove all food, shelves, and drawers and wipe down the inside and all parts with warm, soapy water. For more stubborn odours, use a solution of 1 tablespoon of liquid bleach in 1 gallon of water to sanitize after cleaning with soap. Clean the door gaskets with hot soapy water to make sure they create a tight seal.

Finally, keep the area around the fridge clear and wipe down the outside of the appliance regularly to prevent dust build-up.
Maintain Airflow
Set The Correct Temperature
Clean Thoroughly
To maintain airflow, check inside the fridge for air vents and ensure they aren’t blocked by food items. Ensure there’s at least 5cm/2 inches of free space around the fridge for heat release and proper air circulation. Finally, don’t overfill the fridge. Aim for it to be about three quarters full to let cold air circulate evenly.
Clean The Condenser Coils
Set The Correct Temperature
Set The Correct Temperature
The coils are typically found at the back or bottom of the fridge. Before cleaning them, always unplug the fridge. Use a vacuum cleaner with a brush attachment or a long-handled condenser brush to remove dust and debris from the coils. This should be done twice annually.

Regularly check that the fridge’s temperature is set correctly. Ideally, the temperature should be around 3-4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer. Furthermore, limit how often and how long you open the fridge doors for to minimize air exchange and conserve energy.
