7 maintenance tips for your fridge-freezer<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Maintaining your fridge-freezer<\/a> is easier than you might think. By regularly performing a few simple tasks, your appliance will continue to function well and you\u2019ll save on energy costs. Below are the 7 key maintenance tips for your fridge-freezer.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 1: Clean the condenser for optimal energy performance<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The condenser in your fridge-freezer plays a major role in the cooling process. It helps effectively release heat. However, if dust or dirt accumulates on the condenser, your appliance has to work harder and consume more energy to stay cool. Clean the condenser at least once a year to save energy and extend the lifespan of your appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 2: Check the temperature settings of your fridge and freezer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Did you know that the correct temperature settings make a huge difference in your fridge-freezer’s energy consumption? Set the refrigerator to 4\u00b0C and the freezer to -18\u00b0C. This is optimal for both energy efficiency and food preservation. Avoid setting the temperature lower than necessary, as it only increases energy use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 3: Defrost your freezer regularly<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your freezer is covered with ice, it has to work harder to maintain the right temperature, increasing energy use. Defrost the freezer at least twice a year, or more often if you notice a lot of ice buildup. It\u2019s simple: turn off the appliance, let the ice melt and wipe everything clean. Don\u2019t feel like waiting for your freezer to defrost? Check out <\/span>our blog on how to quickly defrost your freezer without turning it off<\/a><\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 4: Clean the inside of your fridge<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Your fridge needs to be cleaned more frequently than your freezer. Remove spilled liquids and food scraps to prevent odors and mold growth. Clean the interior at least once a month with a mild cleaner. This keeps your appliance hygienic and functioning more efficiently.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 5: Keep the door seals of your fridge and freezer clean and intact<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The door seals of your fridge-freezer prevent cold air from escaping. If they are damaged or dirty, your fridge and freezer need to use more energy to stay at the right temperature. Regularly check that the seals are intact and clean them with a mild cleaner. If they are damaged, replace them in time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 6: Don\u2019t overload your fridge and freezer<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It may seem convenient to cram your fridge and freezer full, but this can hinder air circulation. Make sure there is enough space for air to circulate freely through the appliance. This ensures that the refrigerator with freezer works more efficiently, saving energy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tip 7: Place your fridge-freezer in a cool spot<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If your refrigerator-freezer is placed near a heater or in direct sunlight, it has to work harder to reach the desired temperature. Therefore, place your appliance in a cool, well-ventilated spot.<\/span><\/p>\n

When do you need to replace your fridge-freezer?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Is your refrigerator-freezer not functioning properly anymore? Are issues like a faulty motor or ice buildup recurring? It might be time to consider replacing it. Sometimes repairs can be more expensive than purchasing a new fridge-freezer. <\/span>Do you want to avoid worrying about repairs or replacing your refrigerator with freezer?
