Keep Your Fridge Running Cool: Summer Refrigeration Maintenance Tips

As summer temperatures rise, your refrigerator has to work harder to keep food fresh and safe. Regular maintenance ensures your fridge runs efficiently, avoids costly breakdowns, and keeps those refreshing drinks nice and cold. Follow these key steps to get your appliance summer-ready!

1. Deep Clean the Interior

Start by emptying the fridge and wiping down all shelves, drawers, and walls with a mild cleaner. This prevents odors, mold growth, and helps air circulate freely.

2. Check Airflow Around Vents

Your fridge relies on proper airflow to regulate temperature. Make sure there’s at least three inches of space around all vents to allow cool air to circulate efficiently. Blocked vents can cause uneven cooling and overworked compressors.

3. Clean the Condenser Coils

Over time, dust and debris collect on the condenser coils at the back of the fridge, making the unit work harder and increasing energy consumption. Carefully remove the back cover and use a vacuum or brush to clear the coils. Remember: Unplug the fridge first to avoid any electrical hazards. Also, be cautious around wires, refrigeration pipes, and other sensitive components.

4. Monitor Temperature Settings

For optimal food safety, your fridge should maintain a temperature between 34°F and 39°F, while your freezer should stay at 0°F or colder. If your fridge struggles to maintain these temperatures after cleaning, it may be time for professional service.

5. Schedule a Service Call If Needed
