The condenser works like a radiator. It <strong>must stay clean to remove heat from<\/strong> inside the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>If the coils are very dirty<\/strong>, they become less efficient and <strong>will not be able to cool the inside of the refrigerator to your desired temperature.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Therefore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should <strong>clean the refrigerator&#8217;s condenser coil to get them back to work.<\/strong> For this, <strong>it is advisable to use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle brush or a refrigerator coil brush<\/strong>. <strong>The Whirlpool Maintenance Brush (4210463RW) comes highly recommended.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But note:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Some refrigerator models can only be cleaned by a certified technician. As such, you should contact <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenaid.com\/resources\/contact-us.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"><strong>KitchenAid customer support<\/strong><\/a> for assistance in this regard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortunately:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can <strong>clean your KitchenAid refrigerator condenser coil <\/strong>with these simple steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"How to Clean Condenser Coils on your KitchenAid\u00ae Fridge\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bZweuVVwmS4?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><strong>Step 1: Disconnect your KitchenAid refrigerator<\/strong> from its power source.<\/li><li><strong>Step 2: Step 2: Remove the base grille <\/strong>at the lower parts of the refrigerator.<strong> Open both doors, <\/strong>then<strong> place your hands along the ends of the grille, pressing in on the top while pulling up at the bottom.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Step 3: Use a vacuum cleaner with a gentle brush or a refrigerator coil brush to clean the grille and the open areas behind and in front of it.<\/strong><\/li><li><strong>Step 4: Align the grille support tabs with the metal clips <\/strong>and<strong> replace the base grille<\/strong> by pushing it firmly into place.<\/li><li><strong>Step 5: Plug in your refrigerator<\/strong>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a home operating environment, there is usually no need for routine condenser cleaning.
