Maintenance tips for a long-lasting refrigerator
- Regular cleaning: Clean the interior and exterior of your refrigerator regularly, including shelves, drawers, and door seals.
- Check door seals: Ensure that door seals are tight and replace them if they are worn out to prevent cool air from escaping.
- Set the right temperature: Keep your refrigerator at a consistent temperature (3-4°C for the fridge and -18°C for the freezer).
- Avoid overloading: Do not overload the refrigerator as it can block air vents and reduce cooling efficiency.
- Clean the coils: Vacuum the coils at the back or underneath the fridge to remove dust and improve efficiency.

How to maintain a refrigerator
- Clean the interior regularly: Remove all food items and shelves, and wash the interior with a mixture of warm water and mild detergent. Rinse and dry thoroughly before replacing the shelves and food.
- Defrost the freezer: If your refrigerator does not have an auto-defrost feature, manually defrost the freezer periodically. Turn off the fridge, remove all items, and let the ice melt. Clean and dry the freezer before turning it back on.
- Inspect and replace door seals: Check the door seals for cracks or wear. A damaged seal allows cool air to escape, making the fridge work harder. Replace worn-out seals to maintain efficiency.
- Keep the coils clean: Dust and dirt on the coils reduce the fridge's efficiency. Use a vacuum or coil brush to clean the coils at least twice a year. This helps the refrigerator cool more effectively.
- Maintain proper ventilation: Ensure that there is adequate space around the refrigerator for air to circulate. Avoid placing the fridge too close to walls or cabinets, as restricted airflow can lead to overheating and increased energy consumption.
- Monitor temperature settings: Regularly check the temperature settings to ensure they are optimal. The fridge should be set between 3-4°C, and the freezer at -18°C. Consistent temperatures help keep food fresh and prevent spoilage.
- Avoid overloading the fridge: Do not overcrowd the refrigerator, as this can block air vents and reduce cooling efficiency. Proper air circulation is crucial for maintaining an even temperature throughout the appliance.
- Store food properly: Keep food items covered and organised to prevent spills and odours. Use airtight containers for leftovers and ensure that raw meat is stored separately to avoid contamination.
- Address minor issues promptly: If you notice any unusual noises, leaks, or temperature fluctuations, address them promptly. Ignoring minor issues can lead to bigger problems and costly repairs.
