So I have established a little ritual that I do with every new customer lately, I do it for free as a signup bonus of sorts . . . I check people’s refrigerators.
There are essentially 2 kinds of refrigerators– those that have the coils in the back, and those that have them at the bottom. if your frij is the latter design, there is a 90% chance that you never knew that you needed to clean those bottom mounted coils now and then.
Once I see that louvre cover at the base of a door on a frij, I pull it off and this is typically what I find:
Gross, is it not? Not only is this completely blocking the flow of air over the coils, thus making the frij waste power, AND wear out the compressor prematurely . . . it is also blowing this garbage into the air of the house. Another pic:
And at last, below, you see the SAME SHOT with the crud removed and the coils at last getting some cooling air.
Dust bunny? This is a dust hippo! 🙂
This frij dust blanket problem is TYPICAL. The stuff I see! 🙂
