Tips to Prevent Fridge Problems
A little care goes a long way. Here’s how to keep your fridge running well:
| Tip | Why It Matters |
|---|---|
| Clean condenser coils every 6 months | Dirty coils make the compressor overwork |
| Don’t block the air vents inside | Airflow is key to even cooling |
| Keep the door gasket clean and soft | A worn seal causes cold air to escape |
| Don’t overfill the fridge | Too much food blocks air circulation |
| Set temperature between 3°C – 5°C | Ideal range for food safety and efficiency |
| Let hot food cool before storing | Hot food raises internal temperature |
| Check the door seal regularly | Press a paper between — if it slides easily, the seal needs replacing |
| Defrost manual fridges regularly | Ice build-up reduces efficiency |
| Keep the fridge away from direct sunlight | Heat sources make it work harder |
| Don’t slam the fridge door | Repeated impact damages the door gasket and hinges |
