Tips to Keep Your Fridge in Good Repair

Taking care of your fridge is the easiest way to keep it operating at its full efficiency. It’s not hard; all it takes is a little attention that barely alters your day. Here are a few tips to keep your fridge running in tip-top shape. 

For those of you who are purchasing your first fridge (or are getting a newer model to replace your old one), be sure to sign up for professional delivery and set up. The average fridge is a bulky appliance that requires professional strength and equipment to load and move them. This may be obvious to many people in Toronto, especially if you rely on the TTC to get around. Without a car or a crew of men, you have no way of moving a fridge even if you wanted to. But it also comes at an extra cost that can put handier people off.  What’s less obvious is that movers should stick around to hook up the various electrical and water connections. They’ll have the experience and knowhow to get this done faster than you ever could.

Whether or not your fridge is new, you should ensure your appliance has four to five inches of space between it and the wall. This allows for enough circulation and ventilation so as to not over burden your fridge. This extra pocket of space will make sure your appliance is running as efficiently as possible, meaning it will also help to keep your electrical bills down.

Your fridge’s efficiency is also improved by adopting a regular cleaning schedule. It doesn’t have to occur too often, so once or twice a year is enough. Whenever you plan to do it, unplug your fridge first. Then check the condenser coils at the back for dirt, dust, and pet hair. You can easily vacuum this off using a special hose attachment. Using the same attachment, you can ensure the floor grill is clear of dirt as well. If your fridge is capable of making ice, add checking the filter to your list of duties. This will ensure your ice remains clear and odour free.

These simple additions to your routine can make sure your fridge is operating more efficiently. However, if you notice any strange noises, odours, or temperature readings, call the appliance repair and maintenance experts in Toronto.
