Clean the condenser coils every 6 months to prevent overheating and improve efficiency. Dust and debris buildup can cause the fridge to work harder, reducing its lifespan.

Check the door seals for leaks; loose or cracked seals allow cold air to escape, making the fridge less effective and increasing energy consumption.

Keep the temperature consistent: Set the fridge temperature between 37°F and 40°F and the freezer at 0°F for optimal food preservation.

Defrost regularly: If your fridge doesn’t have an auto-defrost feature, make sure to manually defrost it when ice buildup exceeds 1/4 inch.
