Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little maintenance goes a long way:
- Clean condenser coils every 6 months — dusty coils strain the compressor
- Check door seals regularly — a loose seal wastes energy and strains the motor
- Don’t overload your fridge — it blocks airflow and causes uneven cooling
- Set the right temperature — 3–5°C for fridge, -18°C for freezer
- Leave space behind the fridge — at least 10cm for heat to escape
- Defrost manually if ice builds up excessively (for non-frost-free models)
- Avoid placing hot food directly into the fridge — let it cool first
- Keep it level — an uneven fridge causes the door to seal poorly and compressor to work harder
- Service annually — a professional check-up can catch small issues before they become costly
