It’s the only appliance in your home that runs 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. To keep your food crisp and your energy bills from creeping up, your refrigerator needs just a few minutes of maintenance a year:

• Don’t Block the Airflow: Try to keep food items from pressing directly against the air vents or the back wall. Good circulation is the key to keeping a consistent temperature throughout the fridge.
• Vacuum the Dust: Once or twice a year, gently vacuum the dust from the coils (usually located at the bottom or behind the unit). A dust-free fridge doesn’t have to work as hard to stay cool.
• Wipe the Door Seals: Sticky spills can damage the rubber gaskets that keep the cold air in. Wipe them down with warm, soapy water every few months to ensure a tight, energy-saving seal.
