Its unbelievable how so many people are not even aware of this necessary maintenance task.

That’s true, it’s just like anything we use. Almost everything needs to be cleaned/serviced to keep it working the way it is supposed to

I sure didn't know

Thanks for the excellent demo

I keep 6inch wide lengths of thin masonite that are almost four feet long for this purpose. many fridges will ruin floors. Never roll them out without protection. Just line the two boards with the wheels on the front. Also, many fridges will require compressed air because only the front of the coils are accessible. Blowing them out works great. Having a shop vac running, with the hose next to the coils will help to catch a lot of the dust from blowing them out.

Great job! Thanks for showing this so clearly.

Good job, never thought of an air com

Amazing! Air compressor and vacuum are magic .

Great job! Ty 4 sharing!

An electric leaf blower will also do a great job of disloging the dust but the dust will go everywhere so be prepared!

Right? Pro-tip: mop the floor all around the fridge shut a very wet mop just before using the leaf blower. It will capture most of the dust, then mop up!

Great job man! You helped me a lot!

Looked under mine and thought I found a portal to Fraggle Rock

....nobody cleans their dryer vents either

On many frigs (including mine), to do a decent job, you need to empty them out & tip them up against a wall to access the coils from below. It's a real pita.

Thankyou

Quick question... Did you shut off the power first? Thanks for the excellent video and tips!!

For safety purposes I would shut the power off or just unplug the fridge. Also be careful underneath the fridge because certain components get hot.

Do you vacuum up the installation thats fallen? Or try to keep as much as you can?

Cleaning stand alone freezer coils

Is the cardboard on the back of refrigerator necessary...and also on the bottom

Thank you so much. This fridge looks exactly like my crappy Maytag! This helps a lot. I see that the air compressor cleaned out the dust well, but all that dust is just going further back there. Isn't that a potential problem later on down the line?

Sorry for getting back to you late, I made sure I blew everything out and checked multiple times with my flashlight, the air compressor is pretty powerful and just shot the stuff all over the floor.

Had the same concern. Your steps: 1. suction front. 2. Suction back. 3. Blow front. Better: 1, 3, 2.

buy compressed air in a can

Did all of that, but the coils actually rest on the floor! Any suggestions for elevating the entire fridge permanently?

Does the cardboard absolutely have to be put back on,??

@nathanbishop1999

Yes it does, the cardboard helps force air over the condenser, without the cardboard it could over heat

Like new

I don't have an air compressor so I guess I can vacuum it out
