10 Refrigerator Maintenance Tips to Prevent Breakdowns

Frequently Asked Questions

Still need help?

Why does my fridge struggle more in summer?

Summer heat makes your fridge work harder to stay cool, stressing coils, motors, and seals. Regular maintenance like cleaning coils and checking seals helps it cope.

How often should I clean my fridge coils?

Every 3-6 months, or more if it’s a dusty home. Dirty coils reduce efficiency, especially in summer heat—vacuum or brush them to keep your fridge running smoothly.

What’s the best temperature for my fridge in summer?

Set your fridge to 37-40°F and freezer to 0°F. This keeps food safe and efficient without overworking the appliance in hot weather.

Why is my fridge leaking water in summer?

A clogged drain hole or defrost drain is likely. Unclog it with warm water and a pipe cleaner, or check humidity settings—summer moisture can worsen this.
