Clean the interior and exterior

• Every week, you should use a damp cloth to clean
  up any spills or crumbs found on the shelves, in
  the drawers, or on the walls of your
  refrigerator.

• An all-purpose kitchen cleaner can also be used
  for stubborn spots.

• Also, wipe down the outside of your refrigerator,
  using stainless steel cleaner if necessary.

4
Clean the rubber gaskets

• Refrigerator and freezer doors are lined with
  rubber seals designed to keep warm air out of the
  interior of the unit.

• By cleaning these rubber gaskets as needed with a
  universal cleaner, youll ensure a tight seal
  that will allow your unit to run efficiently.

• If any gaskets have become warped or cracked,
  replace them with new ones.

5
Clean the condenser coils

• Clean the condenser coils that are located
  underneath or at the back of your refrigerator.

• Keep the coils clean by brushing or vacuuming
  every six month to remove the dirt and dust.

6
Replace the water filter

• Another step of regular maintenance that should
  be performed every six months is the replacement
  of your refrigerators water filtration system.

• If you wait too long to replace your
  refrigerators filter, it can begin growing
  bacteria and mold that will contaminate your
  water and ice.

7
Defrost your freezer

• Defrosting is important because as frost builds
  up on the interior coils, it restricts airflow
  and the coils cannot cool as efficiently as they
  should.

• If your refrigerator doesnt have an automatic
  defrost control, then you will need to manually
  defrost it on occasion.

• To manually defrost your unit, remove everything
  from both the refrigerator and freezer and keep
  it in a cooler with ice.

• Then turn the unit off and open all the doors,
  allowing the warm air to flow inside.
