Recent research has revealed that the dust in the homes of children with leukemia had higher levels of PCBs, PBDEs, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.

Condenser Coils

If refrigerators function properly, the coils that are on the back and front of the appliance should dissipate heat generated by the compressor. If these radiator-like parts are covered in dust, pet hair or lint, the compressor has to work harder trying to cool the refrigerator, which wears down the unit. It is important to regularly clean your coils.

If you're planning to tackle the task yourself, it is recommended that you unplug the refrigerator from its outlet and shut off the power source before beginning. This can reduce the risk of electrocuting yourself or family members while working on the appliance. If you're allergic to dust it is a good idea for you to wear a face mask. Then, you'll need to locate the coils. These coils are usually located at the back of the refrigerator or, in some instances, at the front and base. If you're not sure where to find them go through your fridge's owner manual or contact the manufacturer for more details.

After you've located the coils, take down the access panel (if there is one) and alternate between vacuuming them using the narrow hose attachment or brushing them using condenser cleaning brushes. Be careful not to risk breaking or twisting the coils. Replace the kick panel, or push the refrigerator into place, and plug it in.

The fan in the rear of the refrigerator is another spot to check. It could be noisy if it's been clogged up with insulation, paper or even a mouse. Unplug the fridge, take out all the shelves and take out any parts that are removable. Vacuum cleaners that have hose attachments can be used to clean the coils and the area around them. Make sure that you switch the fridge back on when you're done.
