Refrigerator Maintenance Checklist for Whites Creek Homes
A fridge needs little, but regular, care: clean coils, check seals, replace filters on time, and keep airflow clear. Humid summers in Middle Tennessee make seal and coil checks more important, because dust and warm air work against cooling all summer.
Coils
Clean accessible condenser coils twice a year, more often if you have pets. Dust on coils makes the compressor work harder.
Seals
Wipe seals and check they close fully. A weak seal lets warm air in and frost build up.
Filters and water
Replace water filters on the schedule in your manual, and check the water line for drips.
Airflow inside
Do not block vents inside the fridge with packed food. Cold air needs a path to move.
