The hum of your refrigerator is normal, and it may be louder at certain times of the day, or following large quantities of stock or freezing processes. The refrigerator is working harder to keep your food cool, which means it is working faster. This is not an indication of an issue.

Dust

Dust in the house attracts dirt, bacteria, and other microorganisms and traces of daily exposures to chemicals in the home. The tiny particles can trigger allergic reactions as well as inhalation, and they are a perfect substrate for microbes, including those that can cause an infection when they come into contact with an open cut.

It's impossible to completely clean a fridge but regular cleaning can reduce the accumulation of dust and keep the temperature consistent. A dirty fridge is a waste of energy due to overheating, and is inefficient. If your fridge is producing more noise than usual or if you think it's wasting energy by overworking, it may be time to have it checked.

Unlike other airborne particulates, dust doesn't just drift into the air from outside, as is commonly believed. It is made up of resuspended dirt from the house, which can be contaminated with lead or other toxic substances. It also contains mold, pollen and car exhaust. It also has pollutant residues from the past, such as DDT which were banned more than half 100 years ago.

Certain compounds, such as flame retardants like decabromodiphenylether, are able to be dissolved into the air. However, the majority chemicals in dust are derived from objects that have been knocked off, for example, electronic equipment. High-molecular-weight substances, such as surfactants used in cleaners and paint strippers, also migrate directly into dust.

Aside from contaminating the food in the refrigerator, a dirty refrigerator can also affect your health. It could harbor allergens like pet dander or droppings from cockroaches, which can cause asthma attacks and allergic reactions. It also contains bacteria spores like staphylococcus aureus, which can cause infection if they make their way into a wound.

Researchers have discovered that contaminated dust is linked to a wide range of health conditions that include cardiovascular disease, cancer, leukemia and inflammatory bowel disease. Recent research has revealed that the dust in the homes of children with leukemia had higher levels of PCBs, PBDEs, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Condenser Coils

If refrigerators are functioning correctly, the coils on the front and back of the appliance should be able to dissipate the heat generated by the compressor. But when these radiator-like parts are covered in dust, pet hair, or lint, the compressor is forced to work all day long trying to cool the fridge and eventually wears down the appliance. This is why it's crucial to regularly clean the coils.

If you're planning to tackle the task yourself it is recommended you unplug the refrigerator from its outlet and switch off the power source before beginning. This can lower the risk of electrocuting yourself or your family members while working on the appliance. It's also recommended to wear a mask if you are sensitive to dust. Then you will have to find the coils. The coils are typically located in the back of the refrigerator or, in certain cases, on the front and base. Refer to the manual for your fridge or contact the manufacturer if don't know where they are.

Once you've located the coils, you'll need to remove the access panel, if there's one. You can then alternate between vacuuming the coils using an attachment for a narrow hose and rubbing them with a condenser brush to clean the coils. Be careful not to risk damaging or twisting the coils. After that take the kick panel off, replace it or push the fridge into place and plug it in.

If you aren't comfortable doing this by yourself, you could always seek out an expert. It's cheaper and easier to keep up the routine of cleaning to prevent the issue from occurring.

Maintenance

Refrigerators are durable appliances that keep running all day and night to cool your food. To ensure they do their job effectively they require regular maintenance. Simple preventive maintenance will ensure that your machines run efficiently for a long time.

Wipe down the door seals. Gaskets can get blocked by jelly and other sticky foods and allow air to escape through tiny gaps. Every few months, clean them clean using a baking soda solution and warm water using the toothbrush or sponge.

The fan at the rear of the refrigerator is a different place to check. It can become noisy when it's blocked with paper, insulation and even a mouse (gasp). Take the shelves off, unplug the refrigerator and remove any removable parts. Clean the coils as well as the area around them with a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment. Make sure you turn the fridge on again when you're done.

It is best to refer to the owner's manual for specifics about where to find the fan and coils and what sort of cleaning tools you may require. Also, you should review the warranty to be sure you are aware of the coverage.
