Frequently Asked Questions
How long should a refrigerator last?
A quality refrigerator typically lasts 10-15 years with proper maintenance. Factors affecting lifespan include build quality, usage patterns, maintenance frequency, and environmental conditions. Regular cleaning of coils and seals can extend operational life.
What's the ideal temperature for food safety?
The refrigerator compartment should maintain 37-40°F (3-4°C), while the freezer should stay at 0°F (-18°C) or below. Many models include built-in thermometers, but a separate appliance thermometer can help verify accurate temperatures.
How much space do I need around the refrigerator?
Most refrigerators need 1-2 inches of clearance on the sides and back for proper ventilation, plus adequate space in front for door opening. Check manufacturer specifications, as built-in and counter-depth models may have different requirements.
Are extended warranties worth considering?
Extended warranties can provide peace of mind for expensive models, but evaluate the terms carefully. Many refrigerator components are covered by manufacturer warranties for several years, and some credit cards offer additional protection for appliance purchases.
