Clean out the dust and save money: Simple fridge maintenance

摘要

The sound of my fridge seeming to run all night prompted me to find out why. Dust on the air intake and cooling fins was the problem, so I set about cleaning them. It was a simple one-hour job, which will hopefully save me both electricity and wear on my fridge, at zero cost. Here's how to go about it. First, and most important, unplug the fridge from the power point before beginning. Next, slide the fridge out until the rear is completely accessible. Now, be appalled at the cobwebs, dust and fluff clinging to the air intake grill/cover, usually located at the bottom rear of the fridge.
