You probably never think about these four hidden spaces when cleaning your Frigidaire refrigerator. Your appliances’ lifespan could be shortened and cost you money if you ignore them. You must be aware of the following:
Condenser Coils Should be Cleaned
Your refrigerator’s condenser coils dissipate heat. They might get covered in pet hair, dirt, and dust, which would make your fridge work harder to keep your food cold. Usually, the condenser coils are found at the bottom of the refrigerator, behind the grill, or on the back of the refrigerator. If you’re unsure where to find the coils, consult your owner’s manual.
Unplug the refrigerator and take off the coil cover once you’ve located it (check your manual to see if there is one). If the coils are on the bottom, use a coil brush to clean them. This brush is specifically made to clean the coils and access tight spaces. If the coils are in the back, you can use a cloth to clean them.
If you have coils beneath your refrigerator, be sure to vacuum them after you’re finished cleaning the coil cover. Schedule a follow-up coil cleaning for six months from now on your calendar.
Ice Maker Maintenance
To keep it functioning properly, the ice maker in your Frigidaire refrigerator should be cleaned about once a month. If you don’t want soiled ice, it’s also convenient.
Maintain Your Water Filter
Your water must be clean for the fridge’s water filter to keep it that way; dirty water will not suffice. If the water dispenser inside your Frigidaire refrigerator has a filter, check the manual. If so, you should change it at least once every six months, but check your manual to be sure.
Clean the Vents on the Freezer
Check out your freezer. Sure enough, there are vents there. In order to maintain the freezer’s proper temperatures, these vents are essential. Take action if they are coated in ice.
To melt the ice, grab a blow dryer and turn it on high. Use a sponge to clean up the water after that. Watch out for the vents from now on. Avert food from covering them, and avoid letting them become covered in ice.
