Prolong Your Refrigerators Life

Cleaning condenser coils periodically can eliminate over 70% of service calls. Your condenser coils are located either across the bottom or at the back of your fridge. They are responsible for cooling and condensing the refrigerant in your refrigerator. When they get clogged with dirt, they cannot efficiently release heat. This causes your compressor to work harder, using more energy and shortening the life of your fridge.

Check out our Repair Forum.


It's recommended that you clean your condenser coils twice a year (more often if you have pets). You can clean them by using a coil cleaning brush and a vacuum. The coil brush thoroughly cleans the coils by bending and getting into the tight areas to loosen the dirt for your vacuum to suck up. The brush can also be used to clean your dehumidifier and air conditioner coils.
