Clean the Coils: Dust and debris can accumulate on the condenser coils, causing the refrigerator to work harder and consume more energy. It’s recommended to clean these coils every six months.

Maintain Optimal Temperature: Keep the refrigerator between 37°F and 40°F (3°C to 4°C) and the freezer at 0°F (-18°C) to ensure food safety and energy efficiency.

Inspect Door Seals: A faulty gasket can lead to cool air escaping, making the refrigerator work harder. Regularly check and clean the seals to ensure they’re intact and free from debris.

Clear the Drip Pan and Drain Hole: These components help eliminate condensation. Regular cleaning prevents water buildup and potential odors.

Avoid Overloading: Ensure there’s adequate space for air circulation inside the refrigerator to maintain consistent cooling.
