Most homeowners forget about the condenser coils located at the back or bottom of their refrigerator. However, these coils are responsible for releasing heat from inside the unit. In a dusty environment, keeping them clean is essential for survival of the appliance.

We recommend cleaning your refrigerator coils at least twice a year. If you have pets that shed hair, change this schedule to once every three months. Cleaning them is simple: pull the fridge away from the wall, unplug it safely, and use a narrow vacuum attachment or a soft brush to remove the dust buildup. This simple ten-minute task lowers your monthly DEWA bill and protects your compressor from burning out.
