Top 7 Tips to Keep Your Fridge Cool and Your Food Safe
Summer in Texas can be brutal, and your refrigerator works extra hard to keep everything cool. Here are some top tips to help your fridge survive the sweltering heat:
1. Clean the Condenser Coils
The condenser coils are essential for cooling your fridge. Dust and grime can accumulate, making your fridge work harder and less efficiently. Regular cleaning helps optimal performance
2. Check the Door Seals
Ensure that the seals around your fridge door are airtight. A loose or cracked seal can let cool air escape, causing your fridge to work overtime. Inspecting connections, motor, fan, and water lines is part of our refrigerator maintenance service.
3. Keep It Full, But Not Too Full
A well-stocked fridge retains cold better than an empty one, but overloading it can obstruct airflow. Keep your fridge reasonably full to maintain an even temperature.
4. Set the Right Temperature
Your refrigerator should be set to around 37°F and your freezer at 0°F. This ensures your food stays fresh and your fridge doesn’t have to work harder than necessary.
5. Clean the Drip Pan
The drip pan collects water from the defrost cycle. Over time, it can get dirty and cause odors. Cleaning the drip pan is part of our maintenance checklist.
6. Give It Space
Your fridge needs room to breathe. Ensure there's enough space around it for proper airflow, particularly around the back and sides.
7. Allow Hot Foods To Cool
Never put food in the fridge or freezer until it is cooled off. The heat will cause your compressor to work harder and cause the lifespan of your appliance to lower.
