all the modern refrigerators are energy efficient but if the door gasket is broken you are wasting energy.

if you have a side by side or a top and bottom refrigerator,by top and bottom i mean how the doors open,the most common place for the door gasket to break is at the bottom of the refrigerator side,the reason for this is mainly from juice or other sticky substances that spill in the refrigerator they run down to the bottom and over time it become like glue so the gasket is always sticking to the bottom of the frame and eventually rips the gasket whenever you open the door.

we all spill juice in the refrigerator mostly by accident, but if you have children you can blame it on them because they do it most of the time.a wet sponge with warm water can usually clean up any spill on the gasket and the the frame of the refrigerator before it start sticking.

Great advice, glad you're back! I used you dryer hub to help me fix my dryer. It is a new dryer but the clothes were not getting dry, they were just damp. We first pulled out the dryer and looked at the vent and it was clear. Today I went to look at the outside vent and noticed the cover was filled with lint; the dryer air was not able to escape. I cleaned it out and I think it should be fixed now. Thanks for sharing your appliance knowledge with us! Your advice really helped! ;)

If you'd like, you can group all of your appliance hubs together so they are easy for your readers to find. Under edit mode, click on the groups tab at the top of the page. Then group each of your hubs under appliance repair, or whatever you choose. ;)

never thought about that... we have an ancient refrigerator but the gasket is relatively new. we'll have to check if there's dried-up stuff stuck on it.

I use to see people at the cashier with coupons for most of what they are buying, they take up more time than people without coupons, and I think that without my knowledge of the savings they were getting, and being in a rush all the time, I have being missing out on some great. - 3 years ago
