If you are cooking Christmas dinner this year for your family and friends, your refrigerator will be full of a lot of food. For this reason, you should make sure your refrigerator is running efficiently. This will not only keep the food well preserved, but can also keep your bills down.
Cover Up
As you place food in your refrigerator, make sure you keep everything covered up with either a lid, or plastic wrap placed tightly over the bowls. If you do not, some of the food may suck up the smells from the other food, which can make all of the food have a different taste. Most foods also contain moisture, and this moisture gets into the air inside your refrigerator. This makes your compressor work extra hard to remove the moisture.
Let It Cool
If you cook some food early, you need to make sure you let it cool down before you place it in your refrigerator. If you do not, your refrigerator will have to work much harder to cool it down for you. If you will be making any type of soup, you can plan ahead of time. Clean and fill up an empty plastic bottle almost full with water, and place it in your freezer. When you are finished with the soup, and need to cool it down fast, place the iced plastic bottle in the soup to cool it down much faster.
Clean the Back
To keep everything in your refrigerator as cool as it is supposed to be, the condenser coils need to be clean. Unplug the refrigerator and find these coils. Depending on the model of your refrigerator, they may be at the top or back of it. If you cannot find the coils, look in the user's manual to find where they are located.
The best way to clean the coils is to use your vacuum cleaner to suck up the dirt and dust. If your coils are very dirty, you can purchase refrigerator coil brushes at most home improvement stores that you can use to get the dirt out from between the coils. When you are finished, wipe them down with warm water. You can use a little mild dishwashing soap mixed in the water, if you prefer.
Doing these three things will ensure your food tastes perfect for your family and friends, and they can also prevent the need for refrigerator repair.

Hey everyone, it's Wesley Poklies here. I'm an extremely busy owner of three separate businesses. I always take the time to stop in and see how my employees and clients are doing. However, I cannot take the time to personally schedule appointments with interested parties. Instead, I hired a personal scheduling professional to perform this service for me. All of my appointments are made through this entity using the calendar I provide at the beginning of each month. I just follow the given schedule to make sure my clients and employees receive the attention they need. I will explain the benefits of using this type of service for your company on my website. Furthermore, I will discuss how this service works for professionals in every industry. Thanks for stopping by.
