If the water compartment accumulates water in the vegetable compartment, check that the condensate leakage from self-thaw is somehow blocked. Do not place refrigerators near heat sources or in direct sunlight.

Empty the freezer: remove all frozen foods, sort and dispose of those that have passed the shelf life. For example, chicken and pork can be stored in the freezer for up to one year. Keep those that you will not throw in a refrigerated box or place them in ice-filled containers so that they do not melt until you have finished cleaning the freezer. Don’t forget about the foods you keep in the fridge: they should not be left in the sun or in a place where it is too hot. Remove the drawers from the freezer. If they are frozen, do not force them. Wait until the ice melts enough so you can easily pull them out of the freezer. Put them in the sink or in the tub along with a quality dishwashing detergent, let them soak for half an hour and then wash them using a soft cloth.

Tip of the day: The most important factor in deciding on a new fridge is determining what size will fit in your kitchen. Refrigerators are usually listed by their internal capacity in cubic feet, but it’s more important to focus on the external dimensions—and width is usually the limiting factor. Here’s how to measure for various scenarios. Replacing your current fridge? You’ll need to buy a new one of very similar width. Measure your current machine’s width, depth (from the wall to the front face), and height. This will focus your search more than any other step you can take.

Possibly the most versatile (and most expensive) type of fridge, French door fridges are similar in width to side-by-side models, and have the entire bottom third devoted to freezer space, just like a bottom freezer model. As with side-by-side fridges, the fridge door is split into two, opening from the centre for the fridge section. Some French door fridges have a single door for the freezer section, but some split the freezer section the same way as the fridge section, making for a grand total of four doors on your fridge. The main advantage to this slightly elaborate door configuration is that opening one of the half doors lets less cold air out than if you’d swung open both. The other advantage is the fact that as with a side-by-side model, the split doors mean less clearance is required between the fridge and your bench/other kitchen installations.
