Refrigerator Maintenance Tips Manual Defrost Refrigerator: On manual-defrost refrigerator/freezers, check for frost build up in the freezer. If frost has accumulated on the walls to a thickness of 1/2 an inch or more, remove all food, turn off the appliance and allow all the frost to melt. Then reset the thermostat and resume normal usage. Be sure not to use any utensils or tools to scrape off the frost, as it is very easy to puncture the evaporator and ruin the refrigerator. Automatic Defrost Refrigerator: On self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers, clean the drain pan underneath the refrigerator that collects water. (Some are not accessible. Don't worry if you can't find yours.) Clean the refrigerator cooling fan and the condenser coils. The coils are underneath the refrigerator. They are usually black and look like a series of small tubes and "fins" connecting the tubes.

Check the door seals to be sure they are sealing properly against the frame of the refrigerator/freezer. If they are torn, or don't seal properly, the refrigerator or freezer may not cool properly, causing longer run times, which wastes energy and money. This problem is worse when the weather is warmer and more humid. Clean the gaskets and frame with warm soapy water so they don't stick. Inspect the back wall of the freezer for any frost build up. It's not normal to have any frost on the back wall or floor of a self-defrosting appliance. The presence of frost is normally an indication the self-defrosting system has a problem. See our TroubleShooting Guide for help with a defrosting problem. Icemaker Maintenance Tips: If you have a built-in ice/water filter, replace the filter approximately every six months. If you don't have a water filter, and you find your ice tastes bad and/or smells funny, use a "taste and odor" water filter on the incoming water supply line. Try our Universal Replacement Water Filter. Keep your water and ice cubes tasting great Has your water and ice started to lose that fresh taste? It's important to change your refrigerator or ice maker filters about every six months. For detailed illustrations to help you find where filters are located, click here.

Many people don't realize that virtually all refrigerators are set up to easily accept an add-on icemaker. Many refrigerators have a tag inside the freezer at the back (or, on the back of the appliance) that gives a kit number indicating exactly what kind of icemaker will fit in that refrigerator. We carry kits that fit virtually every refrigerator/freezer on the market. See our wide selection in our Accessories section. Stop Making Ice Cubes In Trays!
