[Freezer Repair Tips, DIY Help, and Information]
- Household appliances have average lifetime expectancies.
Maintaining your appliances properly can extend their lifetime
indefinitely.
- Clean all freezer compartments regularly, even though it
may not require defrosting.
- Wipe up any spills in the freezer promptly to avoid
staining and odors.
- Defrost your manual defrost freezer about once a year, or
when the frost gets about 1/2 inch thick on the inside walls and clean
it thoroughly. If you’re going to scrape the ice off, use a
plastic or wooden scraper, not a sharp instrument.
- If your freezer is a self-defrost freezer, it will melt
its own frost every eight to ten hours, and drain any excess water to
the drain pan where it evaporates.
- When storing items in the door, place the heaviest items
closest to the hinge side; this will reduce stress on the door and
inner door panel when it is opened and closed.
- Once or twice a year slide the freezer out and vacuum
around, inside the back, beneath, and behind it. Clean the coils with a
condenser
coil brush from our website in the accessories section.
- Use baking soda to absorb any odors.
