Premiere Issue of HGTV Magazine

The autumn season is here and it’s time to fall for something new, like the premiere issue of HGTV Magazine. I love HGTV for all of the homeowner tips and tricks, but it didn’t surprise me when they came knocking on our expert appliance repair door for simple fridge tips for their homeowners to live by. Check out a few of the tips that the article is based off of on our Mr. Appliance blog. Want more? Of course, you do! I suggest brewing up your favorite cup of pumpkin spice coffee and taking a seat at your kitchen table with the October/November issue of HGTV Magazine. Flip to page 42 and take notes on the tips in “If Your Fridge Could Talk” written by the “queen of kitchen appliance” (their words, not mine)! If our Mr. Appliance fridge could talk, I am sure it would say, “HGTV Magazine knows how to keep it cool!”

Open The Door to More Savings

·Give your refrigerator some breathing room by keeping the appliance at least two or three inches away from the wall. Also, place your refrigerator away from direct sunlight and appliances that produce heat to make your refrigerator run more efficiently.

·Do you crave a midnight snack, but can’t decide what to eat? Keep your fridge full, not only to satisfy all of your midnight munchies, but also to help the fridge save energy after recovery from the door being open.

·Check and care for the rubber seals surrounding the inside of your fridge by using mild soap twice a year to help prevent cracked and torn seals. Use your money to test the seals by placing a dollar bill halfway inside the refrigerator door. If the dollar pulls out easily, then your losing money in more than one way and it may be time to replace the rubber seals.

·Enjoy a night of leftovers and defrost your fridge regularly. The frost build-up wastes energy by making the compressor run longer.
