Considering
the essential function of the freezer keeping it operating at peak performance
is important. Here are some freezer
maintenance tips from the local freezer repair man that will help ensure
performance and efficiency:
1. Keep it full: When
food is low, fill empty space with jugs of water
2. Allow food to cool before storing the freezer: Placing hot food in the freezer will make the
freezer work harder. Allow food to cool
down in the refrigerator first.
3. Access food quickly: Keeping the freezer door open too long will
cause the temperature to increase, making it work harder to maintain
temperature.
4. Keep it at zero degrees: Make sure the thermostat is kept regulated. Put a thermometer in the freezer and check it
often to be sure the temperature does not go above zero degrees Fahrenheit.
5. Place freezer away from heat sources: For more
efficient operation, the freezer should not be placed near the oven, dishwasher
or heat vents. Allow adequate air
circulation behind the freezer.
6. Keep the coils clean:
Dirty coils affect performance and
efficiency so they should be vacuumed or brushed periodically to remove dust or
dirt buildup.
7. Clean door seals often:
The door seal prevents air form leaking
in and out. Dust and debris can make the
seal less efficient. Keep it clean and
replace if it becomes old, worn or damaged.
8. Defrost regularly: Freezers without self-defrost functions will
need to be deiced periodically to ensure proper function
