Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your fridge running longer:
- Clean the condenser coils every 6 months — dust buildup kills compressors.
- Don’t overfill it — air needs to circulate inside for proper cooling.
- Check the door seals regularly. A worn gasket wastes electricity and strains the compressor.
- Set the right temperature — 3°C to 5°C for the fridge, -18°C for the freezer.
- Let hot food cool before putting it inside — sudden heat spikes stress the system.
- Defrost manually if your fridge doesn’t auto-defrost and ice builds up.
- Keep it away from heat sources — don’t place next to an oven or in direct sunlight.
- Service it annually — just like your car, fridges need a professional check-up once a year.
