Summer is around the corner, so it is time to make sure your refrigerator and freezer are in good working order. A poor performing refrigerator will need to work extra hard to cool the food stored within, causing you to incur costs in the form of high electric bills. Higher ambient temperatures in Las Vegas mean you need to be certain your freezers and refrigerators are in working efficiently.

Here’s a few tips from the expert appliance technicians at Nevada Appliance Parts.

Helpful Tips to Keep Your Refrigerator Running Efficiently

• Use Containers With Lids – Covering all the food stored in your refrigerator prevents the moisture in the food from escaping into the air inside the refrigerator. Damp air makes more work for the refrigerator. Dry air makes cooling more efficient, using less energy, leading to lower electric bills. Covering your food also keeps it fresh and prevents odors from building up inside your appliance.
• Inspect the Door Seal – The rubber or plastic seals around your refrigerator and freezer’s doors can wear over time, causing cold air to escape. A door hinge that is not properly installed or adjusted could also lead to the seals not aligning properly. In either case, be sure that your seals line up and keep the cold air in.
• Fill Those Empty Spaces – Using a container or bottle filled with water to fill in empty space on the racks in your refrigerator can actually help keep things cool and make your fridge work much more efficiently. In much the same way cool water keeps automobile engines from overheating, cold water in the fridge radiates cooler air, so when opening the door, even though some cool air escapes, as soon as the door is closed, the cold water containers assist the refrigerator in replenishing the lost cool air.
• Clean The Coils – Wiping or vacuuming those condenser coils is an easy way to keep your refrigerator and freezer running efficiently. Dust and dirt can build up over long or short periods of time, depending on where the appliance is installed. Coils with dirt buildup are not able to dissipate heat as quickly, leading to longer cycles and higher electricity bills. Make sure to periodically inspect and clean the back of your refrigerator.
• Make Space – Also make sure there is ample space between the wall and your appliance. All freezers and refrigerators require this space to ensure cool fresh air reaches the mechanical parts.
