Maintenance tips for your Gaggenau side-by-side refrigerator

Routine maintenance helps your refrigerator run more smoothly, so it uses less energy. Clean the condenser coils regularly to help the sealed system cool down the refrigerator efficiently. The compressor won't run as frequently if you keep those condenser coils clean. Adjust the refrigerator door to prevent air leaks into the refrigerator and freezer compartments. Air leaks cause frost buildup on the evaporator, which interrupts airflow and causes cooling problems.

Routine maintenance can also help prevent odor problems. Clean the inside of the refrigerator so spills don't build up and cause smells. Clean the drain pan under the refrigerator regularly because that pan can attract bugs or residue that causes odors.

Cleaning condenser coils on your Gaggenau side-by-side refrigerator

• Unplug the refrigerator or shut off the circuit breaker for the refrigerator.
• To access the condenser coils, remove the bottom front toe grill. On many refrigerator models, you can pull the grill straight out and off of the refrigerator. Check your owner's manual for instructions for removing the front toe grill on your refrigerator. If the coils are under the refrigerator, remove the toe grill to access the coils.
• Push a coil brush into the condenser coils under the refrigerator. The coil brush knocks the dust off of the condenser coils. Vacuum the area to pick up the dust. After knocking the dust from the coils with a coil brush, vacuum the dust.
• Snap the bottom front toe grill onto the front of the refrigerator. Plug the refrigerator power cord back into the wall outlet.
