There are many ways to maintain a refrigerator without having the need to call for a  professional GE Monogram refrigerator repair. Here are a few tips and tricks you could follow to do your own refrigerator repair or maintenance to prevent it from breaking down:

Clean your condenser coils

Contrary to what most people think, most refrigerator problems are caused by clogged condenser coils. As a matter of fact, you can easily eliminate about 70 percent of your appliance repair service calls just by regularly cleaning your condenser coils.

Most condenser coils are located at the back of the refrigerator. If not, then they can be found underneath, across the bottom of the fridge. The main purpose of these coils is to cool and condense the refrigerant and at the same time release heat. When the coils get clogged by dust (and sometimes, pet fur), releasing of heat becomes inefficient, therefore making the refrigerator use more energy than it’s supposed to.

To clean condenser coils, first gain access to the coils by locating where they are. Next, grab a refrigerator coil brush and a vacuum. Usually, a vacuum would suffice, but refrigerator coil brushes are made to reach tight spaces.

Clean the condenser fan

The condenser fan is what circulates the air across the condenser coils to cool them down. Often times, dust, dirt, paper, fur, or even tiny mice can get sucked into the fan, causing it to stop working. To clean it, first you have to locate where the fan is – it’s usually next to the compressor. Next, clean the fan blades with a brush and vacuum (the same materials used to clean the condenser coils). Don’t forget to clean the shaft as well, but remember not to lubricate it with oil since that would attract even more dust.

 Wipe the door gasket

The door gasket is what seals the refrigerator door shut. Prevent yourself from having it repaired (which can cost you quite a lot) by cleaning it regularly. A dirty door gasket can potentially cause air leaks, leaving your refrigerator with a “cooling problem”.

To clean the door gasket, just wipe it down with some warm soapy water and a sponge. This will easily clear out residue, syrup, or other sticky stuff that drip down the refrigerator. To lengthen the life span of your door gasket, lubricate the door handle side by sprinkling some baby powder on a cloth or sponge and using it to wipe the gasket.

 Clear freezer vents

Freezer vents help in the circulation of air in the freezer. When the vents get blocked (mostly by over stuffing the freezer with groceries), the evaporator fan may stop working, or the drain tube gets clogged. Always make sure that the vent area is clear, or that you don’t fill your freezer with too much content. Air needs to circulate within the freezer in order for it to function properly.

 Set the right temperature

Although not necessarily helping in the prevention of GE Monogram Refrigerator Repair, setting your refrigerator’s temperature will help in extending its life by making it work more efficiently. Optimally, the thermostat setting for the refrigerator compartment should be between 38 and 42 degrees Fahrenheit, while the freezer should be between 0 to 10 degrees Fahrenheit.

 Clean drip openings

Drip openings are where water that comes from the defrost cycle goes. Usually, drip openings lead to drip cups or drip pans, where water stored in it eventually evaporates. The location of drip openings and drip pans vary from fridge to fridge, so it’s best to check your user’s manual to easily locate where they are.

When drip openings aren’t cleaned, it may result to clogs and water will eventually build up and not evaporate, but instead, flow out onto the floor. To clean a drip opening, wipe it out with a clean washcloth. Make sure that no debris enters the hole. In the event that some crumbs make its way down the opening, use a vacuum to suck it out.

 Remove foul odors

There are different ways to remove smelly odors that circulate in the fridge – one is to leave an open box of baking soda in the refrigerator (this is known to absorb all acidic smells that food may bring), another is to put some charcoal briquettes inside the ref, and last is to put in some crumpled newspaper as its ink is known to absorb odor.
