How to Maintain a Refrigerator for Better Performance
By UrbanQuick Store Editorial Team · Updated
Placement
Leave space around the back and sides for ventilation and keep the fridge away from direct sunlight and cookers.
Door seals
Check door gaskets regularly. A damaged seal lets cold air escape and makes the compressor work harder.
Cleaning
Clean inside surfaces and, where accessible, dust from the condenser coils. Defrost manual-defrost models before ice builds up thickly.
Loading and power
Avoid overloading, let hot food cool before storing, and consider a voltage protector where power is unstable.
