Refrigerator Coils

We purchased an new fridge 5 years ago so it’s been that long since I cleaned off the coils….

Vacuuming all that dust off the back of the refrigerator had been eating at me for a few weeks (since I should have done this years ago and at least once every 6 months to a year). I finally pulled my refrigerator from it’s tightly fitted cubby only to find out that it doesn’t have coils. Well now I know and I am sharing this fact with you. The floor underneath did need a good cleaning and there were a few vent areas that I cleaned.

If you do have an older refridgerator, remember to clean the coils. Keeping your coils clean will help your refrigerator run more efficiently. Be sure to unplug your refrigerator before you start to clean your coils. You can use your vacuum’s dusting attachment. Be gentle because the coils are fragile. Don’t use anything sharp as you may puncture a coil. Also, please have someone help you pull your refrigerator out so you don’t bump the coils, tip it, or hurt yourself.
