PausitoRoutine BuilderHow often should you dust your fridge’s condenser?
Dust the condenser behind or under your fridge every 6 months.
Dust on the condenser traps the heat. Your fridge then has to work harder and uses more energy. Pro Witgoed says twice a year, and four times a year with pets or in a dusty environment. Unplug it first.
- Unplug it from the socket
- Carefully pull the fridge away from the wall
- Vacuum or brush the grille and the condenser coil
- Slide the fridge back and plug it in
