How to Prolong Your Refridgerator and Freezer Lifespan

Thu Jan 09 2025

  • Cleaning Tips

Proper care and maintenance of your freezer will not only improve efficiency and performance, but will save energy dollars, and help your food contents to last longer.

Location of Your Appliance

Placing your refrigerator and/or freezer directly near a heat source, outside in warm climates, or where the sun will shine on it will cause it to work harder than it needs to and thus increase your energy costs. Find a cool, level and dry space, with adequate clearance at the back for good air circulation, and room overhead or to the side to open the door.

 

Care & Maintenance

  • Check the seal occasionally to ensure proper sealing. If the seal is not adequate, the door may require an adjustment or the seal may need to be replaced.
  • Defrost and clean the freezer regularly. Ice build-up will lower it’s efficiency.
  • Safeguard your small children by keeping freezers locked.
  • Vacuum any exposed condensor coils regularly to ensure proper air circulation.
  • Keep temperature constant to keep food from spoiling.
  • These tips are general in nature; consult your owner’s manual for specific care guidelines.
