Maintaining your appliances is the best way to avoid issues with your Home Warranty Company.  Below are some suggestions to help you maintain your refrigerator.

• Ensure that any food placed in a refrigerator is wrapped or sealed in a container. Plastic and rubber parts inside the refrigerator may absorb odors from unwrapped foods, especially if and when they spoil
• Clean the inside of the refrigerator regularly with a solution of baking soda and water, even if it doesn’t seem to need it. This kind of care will also prevent odors from being absorbed.
• Vacuum the back of the refrigerator and underneath it. Remove the front grill and clean it as well.
• Empty the water pan if you find water in it. Otherwise, just clean it and place it back under the refrigerator.
• Change the water filter (if you have filtered water and ice) according to the maintenance schedule provided by the manufacturer.
• Check the refrigerator door gasket. Close several sheets of paper in the door at different locations, then try to pull them out. If you feel resistance, your gasket is good; if not, have it replaced.
