genecolleen Posted April 25, 2015 Report Share Posted April 25, 2015 Keep the fridge happy, pull the bottom plate and blow out the coils once a year. Ten minute job will keep that fridge humming for many moons to come! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kathydavidb Posted April 26, 2015 Report Share Posted April 26, 2015 Thanks for the reminder. It's a task many of us forget to do. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHS61 Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I worked for a commercial refrigeration company for a while and the best (simple profits) was the call we got from the convenience stores that their beer coolers were not working well enough.... 9 times out of 10 their condensers were full of dust and lint. We come with the nitrogen bottle, blow out the dust and charge 'em $500 ... and the were glad to pay it. YOU ARE CORRECT: BLOW OUT THE DUST AND SAVE YOUR COOLING UNITS, refer or AC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynosback Posted May 31, 2015 Report Share Posted May 31, 2015 I do this with my stick and bricks home. I will add it to my maintenance list for the new 5ver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds1 Posted June 1, 2015 Report Share Posted June 1, 2015 Ha, just did this yesterday. Filled the kitchen with dust. Thinking next time of taping plastic around the fridge area first. Anyone figured out a way to trap the dust? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickhoss Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 mds1 why don't you just buy a trolley from a local hardware chain and the wheel the fridge outside when you need to clean it again, it would save you from spreading dust everywhere inside. mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skp51443 Posted June 6, 2015 Report Share Posted June 6, 2015 We minimize the dust by using our shop-vac to suck as much as possible up before we start blowing things out, it helps enough to be worth the effort. I wonder if you could do something with a dust collection bag like they use in woodworking shops? They are designed to collect dust and pass air so if you could figure out how to fit one it might do a decent job. http://www.dustcollectionbags.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mds1 Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I use a shop vac as well to get what I could. Suppose it had been a long time so the dust buildup was very large. Perhaps I should have also turned down the PSI on the compressor to a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
