Refrigerator and freezer preventive maintenance

Does "If it is not broke do not fix it" attitude about cover the appliances? While there is a lot of real practical preventive maintenance posssible in many devices, you can avoid some major problems and drawbacks and greatly enhance the lives of other children through the regular service. In this article I will cover services working refrigerators and freezers.

The thing important thing you can do to prevent future problems with working refrigerators and freezers to ensure the smooth air flow over the coils that radiate heat removed from the interior compartments. If yours has a set of condenser coils on the back, dusting them off every year should be sufficient, and even that is not critical. Do not store paper or plastic bags on top of the refrigerator, which could fall and block the air to the coils, however. Models of this type is needed so least 2-3 inches of clear air space above them for proper air flow. Models with coils below about the need for these rolls compressor cleaned at least twice a year, more often if you have an older Amana or pets that have shed.

First, remove the kickplate / grille on the inferior frontal covering the opening in the bottom of the door. Clean the kickplate with a garden hose to remove dust and hair. Next, using a cheap brush coil capacitor, or a vacuum cleaner with a crevice tool on the hose (which does such a good job), or an air compressor, which is very messy, cleaner, low and through the coils is generally in the right front behind the kickplate. Older Amana refrigerators are especially sensitive to flow obstruction air. Overheated compressors die soon. Others with the coils in this place are many GE / AEG / JC Penney and older Whirlpool / Kenmore Coldspot model.

While that there, in frost-free models stripping and cleaning of plastic drain defrost bread are often unable to avoid unpleasant odors more evening. Use not hot, boiling water and / or a garden hose. Make sure when reinstalling the pan does not jam against the blades of the cooling fan capacitor, in models with a fan in the rear under (most of the back wall mounted without cooling coils.)

Other models, as Admiral, Montgomery Wards, Signature, and some of Maytag, Magic Chef, Norway, and Tappan models have a sort of "Jelly Roll" black sheet metal with freon passages inside the lower right rear. The condenser brush is the only good way to clean these, except a garden hose or compressor air used outdoors.

Certainly if the Gorenje fridge is 43,080 has a cardboard back cover, to replace him after the service. If damaged, cut a new one from a cardboard box (boxes of large prepared pizza delivery work!) fan to open the case grid areas that are not critical, but solids are of vital importance. These covers air force that hooks in the condenser, cooling, rather than being absorbed by the open areas in the back of the href = "http://spravka.ua/search/acc1f403daca2f433a4d673ba9149182.html"> Liebherr CBP 4056. Without the coverage that overheats and may burn the compressor.

If you have a non-frost-free refrigerator or freezer, defrost the freezing coils always 1 / 4 "-1 / 2" of ice has accumulated. With the increased efficiency of the compressor run less and last longer. Never use a sharp or metal instrument to thaw. Pots of hot water, hair dryer, or just time with the unit off and open are the way forward.

While the condenser fans back in some models have holes for lubrication of engines is often a rather difficult to remove the fan motor for access. If it is accessible and if you have hole oil (s) to use a machine oil light (3-in-1 type) or a zoom jet oiler to lubricate this motor. If not, after a very long time without grease.

The only things you can do to prevent problems is to make sure the door seals are all the way around. Often, if not actually irregular, leaks from minor air board can be patched with razor cuts and silicone sealant and / or rolled pieces of masking tape or newspaper, together again, but are also generally available if yours has serious problems. You can call me for a small fee to help with this if necessary. Air leaks greater than the work fridge harder, run longer, use more electricity, and, if not free of frost, ice faster.

Place a thermometer in each compartment is an excellent idea. So if you notice a significant change in any temperature, you will know to find out why. The problems are detected early be economical to fix, wait a while and you can have significant costs.
