Clean Your Fridge Coils !

Your fridges condenser coils dissipate heat from your fridge, and if crusted with dirt and dust your fridge needs to run longer and more often consuming more electricity. The obvious solution is to clean these coils, at least once a year. Its easy to do and here's how.

1. Find where the coils are located, usually on the back of the fridge or on the bottom behind a cover panel.

2. Unplug fridge or if the fridge is a built in model, turn it off at circuit breaker. Pull fridge away from wall; to save your floor lay something, like cardboard, over it before pulling it out.

3. Remove back cover plate if required, you may need a screwdriver for this.

4. If coils are on the bottom use the long attachment on your vacuum and clean up dust from coils. If coils are mounted on the back use your vacuums brush attachment or a broom to clean off dust.

5. If needed use warm soapy water to clean off caked and crusted on scum.

6. Re-attach cover panel and slide fridge back into place. Plug fridge in or turn back on at circuit breaker.

There you go, your fridge is now running more efficiently.
