Keep the Door Seal in Good Condition
A worn seal lets cold air escape continuously, forcing the compressor to work far harder than it should to maintain temperature.
Signs: Do the paper test monthly — if it slips out easily, the seal needs attention.
Can try yourselfClean Condenser Coils Regularly
Dusty coils are one of the biggest hidden causes of high electricity usage, since a fridge working harder to release heat uses noticeably more power.
Can try yourselfSet the Right Temperature
Setting the fridge colder than necessary wastes power without any real benefit — 3-5°C for the fridge section and -15 to -18°C for the freezer is ideal for most households.

How much can these tips actually save?
It varies by household, but a fridge with a bad door seal or dirty coils can use noticeably more electricity than a well-maintained one — often the difference customers notice most after we fix these issues.
Does keeping the fridge full save power?
A reasonably full fridge holds temperature better than an empty one since food acts as thermal mass, but overloading it blocks airflow and works against you — moderate fullness is ideal.
Is an old fridge always less efficient?
Generally yes, older fridges use more electricity than modern energy-rated models, but proper maintenance can significantly narrow that gap without replacing the fridge.
Should I unplug my fridge when going on vacation?
For trips longer than a few days, yes — empty it, clean it, and leave the door slightly open to prevent odour buildup while unplugged.
