Refrigerator Maintenance

I've seen it before where a homeowner was going to replace a perfectly good frig because it wasn't able to keep cool. The problem was the exchanger coils were coated in tons of dust. Use this checklist to keep your frig alive. #MyKitchen

-Clean heat exchanger coils

-Clean door gasket

-Defrost freezer

-Clean all external and internal surfaces

-Replace water filter (if applicable)

My friend has 3 dogs and hers got so full of dust and fur that the fridge stopped working and was replaced. She learned her lesson the hard way for sure!

Lin R, I bet any home with pets is going to face this at some point (if neglected). The good thing is it is an easy DIY task.

I think most folks know to clean them, but the fridge is so bloody hard to move and get behind!
