By Rafael Kopas


A lot of people are looking for information about refrigerator maintenance. Many facts about this subject can be found. Here we will look at some of those facts a bit further.

There are condenser coils that are generally found at the rear of a fridge. Being sure to keep these clean of dust and pet hair is necessary if you are to have the unit work the way it is supposed to. A broom or vacuum can be used to get this done and will not take a lot of your time either.

Many of these appliances have drainage holes or pans. These are to help remove the condensation. Making sure that these are cleaned frequently as per the instruction manual is very important if you are to keep it running efficiently. The better the appliance runs the longer it will last as well as be more economical.
