Keep the Refrigerator Full but Not Overcrowded:
A well-stocked refrigerator retains cold air better, reducing the need for the compressor to work harder. However, avoid overcrowding, as this obstructs airflow.
Check the Door Seal:
Ensure the rubber gasket around the door is intact and forms a tight seal. Leaks can cause cold air to escape, increasing energy usage.
Allow Hot Food to Cool Before Storing:
Placing hot food directly in the refrigerator raises the internal temperature, forcing the compressor to consume more energy.
Clean the Coils Regularly:
Dust and debris on the refrigerator's condenser coils reduce efficiency. Clean them at least twice a year.
Defrost Regularly (for Manual Defrost Models):
Ice buildup in the freezer reduces cooling efficiency. Regular defrosting prevents this issue.
Place the Refrigerator in a Cool Location:
Avoid placing the appliance near heat sources like ovens or in direct sunlight, as this makes it work harder to maintain the desired temperature
