Get the best out of your fridge
What manufacturers and businesses say is that refrigerators have a useful life of 10 to 15 years, which is fine, taking into account that a fridge is an appliance that works 24 hours 365 days a year. That is why it is essential to have a proper fridge maintenance plan to get the best out of it.
Some hacks to extend the life of the refrigerator
1) Temperature: The temperature of the fridge must be at the ideal suggested temperature of 39 °F. Bacteria do not proliferate at this temperature and the food remains fresh and in good 
condition.
2) Keep the doors closed: When you open the refrigerator doors, 7% of the cold is lost. That causes the temperature of the refrigerator to oscillate a lot, and the food will not keep in perfect condition. Also the energy expenditure increases.
3) Vertical position: The fridge must always be in an upright position. When we buy it, transport it, and set it in our home, it must be in an upright position. Never should it be tilted more than 40 °. That is because the oil inside will come out and damage the entire system. If, for any reason, you lean it more than usual, you should speculate at least 12 hours before plugging it in again.
4) Cleaning the fridge: The modern refrigerators come with a non-frost system, and this makes many things more comfortable, one of them is that you don’t have to defrost it to clean it. However, it is advisable to clean the fridge at least once a month thoroughly. Clean the refrigerator on the outside with soapy water, then all the parts of the interior of the refrigerator. It is imperative to clean the closing rubber because there is a lot of dirt accumulated there.
5) Filling the refrigerator: We do not recommend overfilling the fridge. That prevents the cold air from circulating, and the food will not keep properly. On the contrary, if it is very empty it will cool a lot, you can put water bottles inside, this will keep the temperature constant.
