For most people to have enough room in the kitchen, they place their refrigerators against the wall; however, this ‘chokes’ the compressor of the refrigerator.
Action: Pull your refrigerator back at least 4 to 6 inches from the back wall.
Reason: This causes the air in the back of the refrigerator to be allowed to escape by providing a ‘chimney effect’ where the hot air can rise and leave. If the hot air is trapped behind the refrigerator, the compressor will operate in a ‘double shift’, thus causing the compressor to burn out!
