Your refrigerator works tirelessly to keep your food fresh. Regular maintenance can prevent costly repairs and extend its lifespan. Here’s what you need to do:

1. Clean the Coils: Dust and debris on condenser coils can reduce efficiency. Clean them every six months to ensure optimal performance.
2. Check the Door Seals: Worn or dirty seals can let cold air escape, causing your fridge to work harder. Clean them regularly and replace if damaged.
3. Set the Right Temperature: Keep your fridge at around 37°F and the freezer at 0°F for optimal food preservation and energy efficiency.
4. Keep It Full: A well-stocked fridge retains cold better than an empty one. If your fridge is often empty, consider placing jugs of water inside to help maintain the temperature.
5. Inspect the Drip Pan: Clean the drip pan and drain hole to prevent mold growth and odors.

Regular maintenance not only keeps your refrigerator running efficiently but also extends its lifespan. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to contact Rak Appliance Repair Service for professional repair solutions.
