IMPORTANT: Before cleaning the condensor coils, unplug
the refrigerator to avoid a shock hazard.
The condensor coils dissipate heat. If dust and debris
accumulate around the coils, your refrigerator may not
be able to cool properly, it may run continuously or it
may stop completely as a result of an overheated compressor.
Rear-Mounted Coils
You should clean rear-mounted coils once a year. Unplug
the refrigerator before cleaning. Refrigerators are heavy,
never tip one forward or backward. Never attempt to move
a refrigerator without help.
Vacuum or brush the coils. If coils have a filmy build-up,
use warm soapy water to clean them. Take care not to spill
or drip water onto the components of the refrigerator.
Floor Level Coils
You should clean floor level coils at least twice a year.
Unplug the refrigerator before cleaning. Vacuum or brush
the coils.
Remove the grill from the front of the refrigerator and use
a vacuum with a wand attachment to remove any dust and debris.
The grill should snap off and on. Pull firmly toward and
possibly upward to remove the grill. If it does not come off
with a modest effort, check for screws or retaining clips that
may hold it in place.
