QUESTION:

Problem 112P

Why is it important to clean the condenser coils of a household refrigerator a few times a year? Also, why is it important not to block airflow through the condenser coils?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

The condenser coils are usually at the back of a refrigerator, and it cools and condenses the refrigerant, keeping the air inside the refrigerator at the optimum temperature.

The condenser rejects the heat energy that the compressor uses for compressing the suction vapors to discharge vapors. Condenser coils attract dirt, dust, etc., by regular use, they clog the condenser coil.
