A refrigerator is one of the hardest-working appliances in your home. A little regular maintenance can help you avoid expensive breakdowns.
Clean the Condenser Coils Dust and debris on condenser coils make your fridge work harder and increase energy bills. Clean the coils every 6–12 months with a vacuum or coil brush.
Check the Door Seals Worn or dirty gaskets let cold air escape. Wipe the seals with warm soapy water and replace them if they are cracked or loose.
Replace the Water Filter If your refrigerator has a water dispenser or ice maker, replace the filter every 6 months. This keeps the water clean and prevents clogs in the system.
Keep Temperatures Set Correctly The ideal setting is 37°F for the fridge and 0°F for the freezer. Incorrect settings can cause food spoilage or frost buildup.
Pro Tip: If your fridge still isn't cooling properly, it may need professional service. In Thousand Oaks and Ventura County, Airtexno specializes in Sub-Zero, Thermador, Viking, and GE Monogram refrigerators.
