Efficiency is where it's at. It is important to vacuum your condenser every 3 to 6 months. Cleaning the condenser is important for the overall operations of the unit, including cooling functions.

A dirty condenser may lead to warm temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer. It may also cause the unit to run excessively, which can cause a 20% increase in energy costs, in addition to contributing to condensation or frost inside the compartments. If the condenser is not cleaned properly it may even cause premature failure of the unit's mechanical components.

• Clean condenser coil
• Check refrigerant charge if unit has access valves available
• Inspect and check all fan motors
• Inspect all drains
• Clean exterior stainless steel only
• Check all door gaskets
