- When buying a new refrigerator, consider a unit that suits your need and with a higher Energy Efficiency Factor (EEF).
- Don't leave the refrigerator door longer than necessary.
- Defrost your refrigerator regularly. Frost acts an insulating blanket, which causes the motor to work overtime, resulting in increase of power consumption.
- Cool food to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. Placing warm food in the refrigerator increases the temperature inside.
- Cover liquids and food, otherwise moisture release inside the ref will cause the motor to work harder than normal. The moisture is the source of frost.
- Place the refrigerator far enough from the cooking stove or gas range so that it will not be affected by the heat when cooking. Install it where air can circulate freely around it.
- Don't overcrowd your refrigerator. This interferes with air circulation and overworks the compressor.
- Check the gasket around the refrigerator door. Adjust the door or replace the gaskets if there is leaks.
- Clean the compressor units and condenser of the refrigerator periodically following the manufacturer's specifications.
