Simple Refrigerator Maintenance

This video provides several maintenance steps to help keep your refrigerator running at peak efficiency. Refrigerator maintenance is undoubtedly one of the most overlooked tasks in the home.

You depend on it 24x7. It is expected to provide cold drinks and refrigerated food upon demand. You want it quiet and efficient. While mainly maintenance free, your refrigerator does demand a little maintenance at least twice a year. 

Don't forget to check seals for leakage and repair when necessary. It's possible you may need an appliance specialist to find the correct parts and install properly.

Do you have pets? Maybe you should be inspecting your refrigerator more frequently.  Hair and debris buildup under your refrigerator is very common and makes your refrigerator work much harder than it should. It is also a fire hazard when allowed to buildup to an excess.  Vacuuming the coils is the safe and prudent thing to do and should be on your list of kitchen maintenance tasks.  The benefits are saving energy thereby saving dollars, and keeping your family safe.
