The compressor is the heart of any refrigerator, and it lasts longest when it never has to overwork. Clean condensers, unobstructed airflow, and tight door seals do more for compressor life than anything else you can do at home.
Key Points
- Keep the condenser clean so the compressor can shed heat efficiently
- Do not block the interior vents by overpacking the compartments
- Replace worn door gaskets that pull warm, humid air into the cabinet
- Address a warm-running unit early, before the compressor is stressed
