AWSOME VIDEO, I'm a single woman and this was on point!!! just what I needed to see, THANK YOU SO MUCH for showing your step-by-step refrigerator cleaning routine, I will be following these same directions when I clean mine.

[@earleyparham1813]

This was exactly the detail and "how-to" that I needed to see so that I can clean our fridge. Thank you so much.I think I can do this now.

[@CheaperEngineer]

Nicely done. My Whirlpool side-by-side seems to have been designed specifically to make coil cleaning as difficult as possible. These brushes will make it a bit easier. Thanks.

[@oscarfelix1952]

The underside of the fridge literally acts like a magnet for cat and dog fur. I looked at so many videos and everyone was different. This is the best and easiest one. BTW, I just did mine yesterday and will never let it go again. When the motor started running non-stop I knew something was wrong. Works well again. I wish manufacturers would sell or give an inexpensive cleaning kit when someone purchases a fridge because most people don't even know to do this until they run into trouble.

'I wish manufacturers would sell or give an inexpensive cleaning kit when someone purchases a fridge because most people don't even know to do this until they run into trouble.' Oh no they wouldn't want this, they want it to break so you either buy another one or spend a fortune buying parts to fix it. I would say 95% of people dont even realise they have to clean the coils and it never gets done and they are surprised the fridge fails quickly.

[@jimmywilson1388]

Thanks for the video… Mine is running non stop and the freezer is frosting up. Hopefully this will fix it. I looked at the coils and they are horrendous…😂 Thankfully my mother in law just moved out… She had the freezer and the refrigerator packed full of crap. I read that can cause a problem as well, without proper circulation. I got the inside cleaned out good the other day. Now I just gotta clean the coils and cross my fingers…😅

[@lazmotron]

This is the exact how to video I've been looking for, for a very long time. Thanks!

[@2005Pilot]

Just did this 2 days ago after over a year since last cleaning. Yup going every 6 months now! Great Job 😁👍👍. Rang da bell

[@jheckmann]

Just a note - that skinny crevice tool is from the auto detailing package that was part of a special at Home Depot on a Ridgid shop vac. If your vacuum doesn't have one, you can get about 3 ft of 5/8 or 1/2 clear vinyl hose and squish one end into your short crevice tool.

[@ListenYoungManListen]

Excellent, informative, no nonsense video. Thanks.

[@OMGWTFLOLSMH]

There are more than 2 styles of coils. You missed the most difficult ones to clean, the V-shaped bastards at the bottom of my Whirlpool. Impossible to access with a brush.

[@krystalwesley7043]

Thank you I didn't know this. So simple. We lived in an apartment for 5 years and they never did this.

[@nelsontaveras1640]

Awesome video. I will start on mine and put it on my annual check up list of things to do around the house.

[@deejohnson5163]

Great vid. So many people i talk to don't want to do this small maint. task to keep from having to buy a frig too early.

[@seanartevans]

Our coils here are AGAINST the flow of pushing a brush literally walled with no left or right accessibility. Very convenient. Hoping to just unscrew them out I suppose. Great thorough video 👍🏻

[@jnprfilms]

Bless you and your family

[@normaled462]

Thanks so much for posting this. It was a really big help for me. Everything I needed even being completely not mechanical.

[@ClayFick]

I didn’t think of doing this. Thanks for the video and information !

[@DaydrmBlvr]

Thank you for taking the time to walk step by step. I have this problem and the same fridge. Getting to work. Thanks again!

[@abigailvillanueva7758]

Thank you!! I really needed this info. It was so hard to find info on top mount fridges

[@ascensionlady5318]

This is the best video for cleaning Fridge!

[@Starman2440]

My Amana has a cage around the coils so a brush not a vacuum nozzle cannot be inserted between them. I used an electric leaf blower on the lowest setting---it worked extremely well, but is very messy. I then cleaned up the dust in the kitchen. Had the refrigerator coils been designed better they could be cleaned with a brush & a vacuum cleaner. Seems to have been designed to make it very difficult to clean. the manual instructs a 3 month cleaning but no pictures or any details as to how to clean it. Most folks would be clueless.

[@ForGoodnesSake]

Wow I didn't think to do this, very helpful. Yes save on the energy bill as much as possible!

[@NightRaven2011]

This is so detailed and thorough, thank you!

[@TheSlipperyNoodle]

Used this one today. Thanks Pat.

[@ellavee22]

Thank you

[@nonelost1]

My front toe kick door on my 1996 vintage Hotpoint fridge is IMPOSSIBLE to remove as it is permanently bolted on with no screwdriver slots. The one time I cleaned it, I had to tilt it. This is ridiculous! So how do I clean the coils without risking serious injury? Addendum: after seeing you clean out your coils with that long crevice tool, you’ve just given me an incentive to order a replacement brush roll for my “Dumpster Emporium”shark navigator vacuum, which is my only vacuum (in my collection of vacuums) that has a long crevice tool.

[@linda7345n]

Thanks so much for this video.

[@MichaelGill-pr9wc]

Appreciate the video.

[@shimalmaduranga7136]

Awesome video😍

[@dorianmorton67]

Very informative, thanks!

[@SaltwaterMesquiteManZ71]

Great video. I enjoyed it.

[@walterfigueroa7102]

Awesome, very good information to have. I will do mine. Thank you 🙏

[@PROSDIY]

Thanks Walter! Good luck. Cheers!

[@eeeclaverr4239]

Good to know 👍!

[@danielworden4695]

I do mine January and may 😉

[@sujanithtottempudi2991]

Wow

[@loetjek]

What kind of spray are you using to clean the drip tray? Informative video, satisfying to watch all that grimy dust get cleaned off.

[@calvinkatt662]

It looked like a CLR spray bottle.

[@honeyg3589]

Oh no! I never realized that I should do this 🥀

[@virginiaspeciale8641]

Good video. I’m going to do it. Just one comment: you almost have to be a snake to do those coils in the bottom front.

[@ANGELCHRISTINA-gs4vg]

Should u unplug the refrigerator to do this?

[@2005Pilot]

YES!

[@MOAON_AABE]

Where did you get that long brush and what's it called???

[@chico711]

My hitachi fridge has no coils in the back or bottom back or front or below .. where r they.? The compressor is i the back but thats it please help

[@sollardagua2245]

Parabéns 🎉

[@benacker8232]

What if my fridge is blowing cool air out of the vent not warm air?

[@amajeed6662]

You didn't clean the fan next to condenser to keep it cool.

[@BeautifullyChaotic1992]

Soooo...The coils spanning from Top to Bottom of fridge: Do you Unscrew, and then Remove Those/It? Or just clean as well as possible with them attached? (Style 2)

[@paullogieri248]

You have to clean those in place, and in very gentle, patient manner. The hot refrigerant flows through those coils and simply loosening the coils could cause a refrigerant leak.

[@BeautifullyChaotic1992]

Ok, thank you much!

[@jddresler2729]

My 5 year old Kenmore has the coils running opposite direction from yours and designed so one can not get a brush in from front or back. The only way to get to them is tip the huge fridge 45 degrees on its side. What a horrible design.
