Now, the truth is that every now and then the much loved kitchen appliances need to be properly cleaned up. However, it’s not that easy to determine when this should take place and doing it too often is just a waste. With this in mind, we’ve taken the liberty of providing you with a few tale signs that it might be time for you to consider cleaning the machine. Let’s take a look.

1. Dirt buildup on the edges of the oven

You need to understand that in order for the oven to work perfectly, it needs to be perfectly sealed. This is why the doors of the ovens or the cabins, depending on the model, have a specific gasket sealing on them, ensuring that no temperature gets in or out once the door is shut. However, if there is a significant buildup of dirt along the lines, this is going to damage the gasket or prevent it from forming a tight seal. Therefore, it’s time for a cleanup.

2. Ice buildup

A lot of the times our freezers are in need of proper cleaning but we fail to notice the signs which give it up. With this in mind, if you see that there is more than half an inch of ice built up in the freezer, it means that it’s time to clean it up. Usually this should be carried out in the spring because you will be able to keep the food containerized outside during the cool night without worrying that it would go bad.

3. Clean condenser coils

Regardless of whether you have a freezer, a fridge or a combination of both, the condenser coils are usually amongst the most commonly overlooked parts of the machine. They are located at the back and are often facing a wall. However, this doesn’t mean that they need to be disregarded. Dirty condenser coil are the most common cause for malfunctioning freezers and fridges and that’s definitely something that you need to consider. You need to remove the protective panel and clean them up quickly and without any additional hassle – it’s as easy as this.
