Fridges are energy hogs. They place right after heating and air conditioning in terms of home-energy consumption (it's estimated that a fridge uses about 15 percent of a home's power). An easy way to help your fridge run more efficiently is to clean the coils, which dissipate heat from the fridge. If they're covered with dust or caked-on "grunge," they can't work the way they should, and your fridge will run longer and more often. Follow these steps every 6 months to clean your refrigerator coils.

on 1/24/2008 Good advice! We also had to clean the coils on an old freezer in the garage that would get caked with sawdust from workshop projects.
