Have you?

Have you cleaned the coils and operating parts of your refrigerator in a while? You might want to check it out and see how much fuzz is covering everything. Your fridge will thank you for it.

VERY TRUE SPUD! I have done that several times and sure will reduce the time your fridge runs plus extend the life.

Seriously, good advice. Same goes for the AC units for your house, both window type or central air............ clean them well, it does matter.

Actually, yes. I just did this a few days ago. Refirgerator does seem to be running more efficiently.

Yes!

Cheapo Sears fridge would not keep ice cream frozen. It does now. I think the technology should be better by now.

Related, other PSA:
When shopping for an appliance, make sure the Energy Star info is not an ESTIMATE. I failed to notice that with above fridge.
Expressing my disappointment with the the Energy Star folks only got them to put blame on the EPA. {*&kers.
And the Energy Star ratings are a moving target, i.e., the consumption "brackets" get tightened every six months or so. Comparing appliances is not easy!

Nah, I just bought a new one instead...:thumbsup

All kidding aside, it is a good idea to clean the coils once in awhile. A/C units too, especially in hot climates like here.
