Warm side walls or edges usually mean the coils can’t release heat properly.
If the motor rarely shuts off, it’s working overtime to maintain the right temperature.
Poor cooling performance is a common symptom of clogged coils struggling to remove heat.
A noisy fridge often points to stress on the compressor or fans caused by restricted airflow.
A refrigerator with dirty coils can use significantly more energy to stay cold.
Your refrigerator relies on condenser coils to release heat pulled from inside the unit. Over time, those coils collect dust, pet hair, and kitchen debris—forcing your fridge to work harder to stay cool.
Dirty coils lead to higher energy bills, shorter lifespan, and even unexpected breakdowns.
Regular cleaning keeps your refrigerator efficient, safe, and long-lasting.
Refrigerator coils are the hidden heroes of your appliance. As refrigerant flows through them, they release the heat your fridge removes from inside. When airflow is blocked, that heat stays trapped, forcing your compressor to run longer and costing you more in energy.
Dust and pet hair collect quickly on condenser coils, often within a few months. When coils are blocked, your fridge uses more electricity and runs hotter.
That’s why brands like Whirlpool, GE, LG, and Samsung recommend cleaning them every 6 to 12 months.
More frequently if the environment is particularly greasy or dusty or there is significant pet traffic in the home.
Choose a standalone cleaning or bundle it with your dryer vent service for extra savings.
