Replacing Fridge Seals to Reduce Electricity Costs

With Electricity being such a major household expense, more people are looking at ways to cut back their electricity bills. With the refrigerator being one of the larger users of electricity in most households, checking your fridge door seals have no gaps or splits is vital in keeping your electricity bills down. The basic purpose of the fridge is to keep all the food fresh for longer periods of time, however when the seals are not effective due to splits and gaps in the seal, the freshness of the food is compromised, and this causes food to spoil quicker and food items such as milk to go rancid quicker. With outside air getting into the fridge the fridge is unable to maintain consistent temperatures throughout the fridge and therefore this causes bacteria to form, and food to spoil quickly. 


The life time of the fridge is also affected by the fridge seals being faulty as the compressor is forced to run excessively and therefore puts more strain on the fridge than what it needs to.

Now the question arises... How do you solve the problem of a faulty fridge door seal? For some cases you may wish to have a mechanic fit a new fridge seal to your fridge, but in most cases it is a simple job which you can do yourself. Most fridge door seals are clamped to the door with screws which simply need to be loosened to remove them, and the new seal slips in with a small lip.

When replacing most Kelvinator fridge seals and Westinghouse fridge seals for many years they have come with screwed on door seals which are simple to install. Most Fisher & Paykel seals are simply pushed into a small channel which is connected to the door.

Fitting the fridge seals yourself can save a lot of money on installation costs when doing it yourself.

The easiest way to get the seals is to order them online. Simply select your make and model and you are presented with a list of the possible matches. Then it is simply a matter of adding them to your shopping cart and checking out with your credit card.
