As
the one kitchen appliance that is always running, the refrigerator
should be expected to suffer some wear and tear. But Jeff points out
that a refrigerator problem often subtly announces itself through the
appearance of condensation or frost—long before the time comes when a
breakdown might be imminent. “Visually check the fridge, maybe once a
month,” says Jeff, “and if you see condensation or frost around the
insides of the doors, then that means you have an air leak.” Any pooling
water in the bottom of the fridge might indicate that the drain needs
to be looked at and possibly cleaned out. While replacing the gasket
and clearing the drain line are tasks that a homeowner can sometimes
complete, Jeff recommends they be left to a professional repairman to
avoid any mistakes that might create bigger problems later. Catching
the problems early is definitely a matter of making a visual
inspection of the refrigerator a regular part of your kitchen duties.
Another culprit that often contributes to refrigerator malfunction is
dirty condenser coils. Usually located on the back, top, or bottom of
the refrigerator, these coils help to cool the refrigerant. If the
coils accumulate lint, they can’t get rid of heat efficiently, and the
refrigerator’s compressor will work harder and use up more energy as a
result. So not only is regularly cleaning the coils an easy way to
prolong the life of your appliance and avoid repair calls, but it can
also save you money monthly by reducing power usage. And in a machine
that is always on, this can put a few extra dollars a month back into
your pocket.
