Positioning in the home should avoid direct and indirect sources of heat. The distance to the walls must be at least 10 cm, especially the back where there is usually the heat exchanger. If the refrigerator is mounted in the body of the furniture it must be provided with artificial ventilation with the help of a mini ventilator or the creation of ventilation spaces in the top or bottom that allow the air circulation.

The refrigerant condenser should be cleaned every six months and this is not a very complicated operation, but you must take into account some rules. First, remove the refrigerator from the socket. There is a risk of electric shock when working with live parts. Identify where the capacitor is. For most refrigerator models, it is installed on the rear wall, but in some cases it may be under the refrigerator. If you are not sure, look for the necessary information in the User Manual. Use a soft brush to remove dust and other deposits from the condenser. Do not use chemicals. For hard to reach places, use a vacuum cleaner to which you mounted the end with a brush. Clean the floor with a vacuum cleaner and a damp cloth. Reconnect the refrigerator to the electricity source. Looking for San Juan Capistrano refrigerator repair providers ?

You may prefer a side-by-side model if you want a bigger freezer, a classic top-freezer if you’re on a budget, or a counter-depth fridge to save valuable space and give your kitchen an airier feel. (We recommend specific models in our guide to the best fridges). What we don’t cover in this guide are specialty fridges, like built-in or integrated units, but our advice on the features to consider when buying any new fridge will apply to those, too.

Though not strictly a category unto its own, bar fridges are handy to mention as a lot of people are undoubtedly looking into buying one as the summer season rolls around. Bar fridges benefit from being very cheap to purchase, easy to transport and they basically get the job done when it comes to keeping drinks cold. Many are under 100L, and some are even smaller in capacity than 50L. However a good idea they might seem, bar fridges are rather energy-inefficient relative to their size. In fact they often use similar amounts of electricity as regular-sized fridges, but at less than a quarter of its capacity.
