1. Cool Location
The cooler it is on the outside, the easier it is for the unit to keep cool inside. You should also make sure that there are 3 inches of space around your appliance, so that there’s less of a chance of heat and dust build-up.
2. Right Temperature
keep the temperature at 37° to 40° in the fresh food section of your fridge and 5° in the freezer section.
3. Clean Your Coils Monthly
Your refrigerator cools and your freezer freezes by transferring heat from the inside of the unit to the outside through the condenser coils. But if you allow dust to collect on the coils, your unit has to work harder.
4. Defrost Your Freezer Monthly
Unless you have a frost-free unit, you should plan to defrost your freezer whenever the frost gets to be a quarter of an inch thick.
5. check the Door
You should also make sure that your freezer door is air tight. You can test this by closing the door on a dollar bill. If you can pull it out easily, you might need a new seal or latch.
