YOUR FRIDGE~how often do you clean it out? - Page 3

I clean it all the time... will take out a shelf at a time and clean it.

I was so proud that our new fridge didn't have those coils on the back that you have to vacuum, until I replaced the water filter and realized there are coils *under* the front of the fridge. Yuck, what a scary spot that was!!

I vacuumed it with the little brush attachment. And wiped it, too. Found all kinds of goodies under there, too.

all i could access was the very front of the coils.maybe a different design? . all the rest are totally hidden under the fridge! the only way i can think of cleaning it properly is tipping the fridge on its back..not exactly something done easily and im not sure if you are even supposed to do that ever with a fridge. but i too found some treasures! its amazing how many things get shoved under the fridge!

NOOOOOOO!
I actually picked one out that doesn't even fit the kitchen because of that feature (remodeling sometime in the next 2 years- we are going to have to knock out part of a WALL just for the fridge!)
Great- where is the instruction manual when I need it?

They were tilted up towards the front. I *think* I got the whole coil. Well, now I'm worried.
