When did you last clean the refrigerator coils?

2 weeks ago...my fridge died and I thought it was the coils....nope, it was the thermostat. Cost me $86 to fix!! GRR!!!

i never have...probably should.

Never....are you supposed to?

I clean them once a month! Helps the fridge run better!

never have.

the same time i drained the water from my hot water heater.never.

Every 6 mos.

if you have pets then do it at least once a year. no pets, when you clean behind the fridge or move.

You need to clean the coils out twice a year, unless otherwise noted by the manufactures. Some older Illinois-made Maytag had commercial condenser coils that never needed cleaning. Also some of the GE refrigerators had a squirrel cage type coil that also didn't require cleaning twice a year (check your owners manual to find out how often). I always pick two holidays, say Christmas eve and July fourth as the two days I clean my condenser coils

2 weeks ago ..cleaned behind the fridge and vacumed the coils and used my swiffer on it too.
