Tip 101 to Boost your fridge’s performance – replace freezer door seals!

Are you spending much more money on running your refrigerator than you ought to? The answer to this lies in your fridge seals! If broken or cracked, Fridge seals can let out all the cold air from the refrigerator, thereby wasting all the efforts made by your fridge’s compressor. If cold air escapes out, your fridge’s compressor in turn has work harder in order to maintain the cold temperature. However, this eventually raises your electricity bills and also results in compressor failure!

Rather than waiting for a long time, it is better if you inspect your fridge right away. Usually, refrigerators that are older than 5 years might start giving some troubles and may not cool as much as they should. This is because due to constant usage, the seal, also known as the rubber, wears out. By continuing to use such freezer door seals, you are not only allowing your food to rot faster but also decreasing the life span of your fridge!
 
Freezer seals are inexpensive items, and can be purchased online as well as by visiting an electrical store. While buying, make sure to read reviews about the best companies in the market. Often, the problem arises when you are duped and given seals that are not genuine. Such duplicate products won’t last long, and you will face the same problem time and again. That’s why ask for a reputed name such as fisher and paykel or the likes. These seals have a mark of genuineness and since they have been around since long, they are trusted by the customers.

Replacing fridge door seals Hobart is not a tough task. Even though you might notice your neighbor or best friend calling home a fridge technician to put new seals, there’s actually no need to. If you have common sense and an internet connection, you can do it yourself. It doesn’t take much time, and you needn’t spend some extra bucks on hiring a fridge technician. There are certain procedures to be followed, and while it might require attention to detail, it is certainly not difficult. In fact, we will give you certain tips to start with –

  • Read reviews about the best fridge seals companies in the market. Seals come for different prices, and we suggest you to buy something that’s durable rather than buying cheap ones time and again.
  • Watch videos of how to remove fridge seals without damaging the liner. Liner is a very important part of the refrigerator and if you damage it, your new seal won’t stick. Don’t worry, we aren’t scaring you! But just be a little careful!
  • You will be required to immerse your new seal in a bucket of warm water (Read warm, not hot!). You need to do this in order to soften the seal. Else, the seal might be a little stiff. Softening it increases its elastic property thereby enabling it to stretch more. This ensures easy application!

Always keep your fridge clean because spills can damage seals!
