In addition, when the condenser coils accumulate a lot of dirt and are not cleaned, the refrigerator can also make more noise during operation.
You do not need to clean the condenser coil too often. Just doing this about once every 6 months is enough. If you have pets such as dogs and cats, you should clean them more often because their hair can also stick to the condenser coils.
How to clean the condenser coil
- Clean all the food inside and turn off the power to ensure safety during the process.
- Push the refrigerator out of its fixed position to make cleaning easier.
- The condenser coil is typically found below and behind the refrigerator. Most condenser coils are uncovered. However, some refrigerators include a panel or mesh cover on the front.
- You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove all dirt from the condenser coil. If you don’t have a vacuum cleaner, you can clean it with a soft cloth or brush instead.
In addition, there is a water tray behind the refrigerator. This tray collects the condensed steam in the evaporator, preventing the water from leaking and damaging the refrigerator. The water tray is situated just below the condenser.
Essentially, you do not need to clean this water tray. However, the water tray can collect a lot of dirt, and insects may fall inside. As a result, you can clean the water tray to eliminate undesirable odors.
