Follow These tips to Keep Seal A Fridge Properly

Refrigerator maintenance is quite simple and easy, but it needs to be done nonetheless. Although, it appears simple, the appliance has many working parts, which means there are multiple points of potential failure. To ensure that it works for a long time, you need to know how to seal a fridge properly.

Why it is important  

All refrigerators come with seal doors that are a part of the standard installation. The seal has some very important functions:

• To keep your food fresh for a longer time
• To keep the harmful bacteria and fungi away from your food
• To keep the cold air locked inside the fridge
• To block hot air from outside from coming inside

If the seal is not installed properly and it comes off or it has a crack in it from somewhere, it will stop working. Your fridge will no longer cool your foods efficiently.

How it can go wrong  

There will always come a time, when you need fridge seal repair because it has a problem. Here are a few ways in which fridge seals usually stop being effective:

• They are accidently cut by a knife or another sharp object and they fail
• Cracks develop because the seal is very old and the material undergoes wear and tear
• The installation is not done properly and the seal becomes loose (could also happen if it is yanked off accidently)

All the causes listed above have the same result, you cannot seal a fridge properly, cool air escapes from the fridge and hot air enters.
