Before cleaning the refrigerator, you should clean all the food inside and turn off the power to ensure safety during the process. Push the refrigerator out of its fixed position to make cleaning easier.
The condenser coil is usually located below, behind the refrigerator. Most condenser coils are exposed. However, some refrigerators have a panel or mesh cover in the front.
You can use a vacuum cleaner to remove all the dirt on the condenser coil. If you do not have a vacuum cleaner, you can also use a soft cloth or soft brush to clean it. Note that the condenser coil is easily damaged if too much force is used. Therefore, you should perform the operation gently to avoid damaging this part.
In addition, there is another part behind the refrigerator, the water tray. This tray is used to collect the condensed steam in the evaporator so that the water does not flow out and damage the refrigerator. The water tray is located right below the condenser. Basically, you do not need to clean this water tray. However, the water tray can also accumulate a lot of dirt, and insects may fall inside. Therefore, you can clean the water tray to avoid unpleasant odors.
