I love finding new ways to save or make money. Especially when I don’t have to sacrifice anything except a bit of my time.

So every couple of months I take the time to clean my refrigerator coils.

It’s one of those jobs that isn’t a lot of fun, but it is so satisfying to see the difference cleaning the fridge coils makes.

Cleaning refrigerator coils helps to keep your electric bill down too. An inefficient running fridge can cost you an extra $5-$10 dollars a month.

It’s easily worth 30 minutes of my time every couple of months to save $60 to $120 dollars a year.

Check out below how to clean refrigerator coils like a pro.

It’s not that hard to clean under the fridge. You just need a few things to get started.

• a vacuum
• fridge coil brush

Getting Started

You will want to start by turning off the power to the fridge. You can either unplug it or just turn it off at the breaker. This is a very important step!

My cord is hard to reach, so I just turn off the breaker.

Then you will want to remove the panel at the bottom of your fridge so you can access your coils.

If yours is anything like mine it has dust, dog hair, and stuff spilled on it.

Wash or wipe down the panel and leave it to air dry.

Then you will want to vacuum what you can of the coils.

I can usually only reach the very front coils with my vacuum, but I still get so much dust from vacuuming them.

Once you have what you can clean with the vacuum then use the wand to clean the dust from the rest of the coils.

Gently feed the wand under the fridge and move it around over a few of the coils.
