Fridge Care Tips for Kota Summer

Published 7 October 2026 · Repair Centre Kota

Short answer: Keep the fridge cool in summer by giving it space, keeping the door seal clean, not putting hot food inside and cleaning the coil twice a year.

Placement and space

Leave a gap of several centimetres at the back and sides so heat can escape. Keep the fridge away from direct sun, the oven and the stove.

Temperature settings

A fridge section at about 3 to 5°C and a freezer at about -18°C are the usual targets. Dial markings differ between brands, so follow your manual, and turn it up one step in peak summer if food is not staying cold.

Habits that help

Let hot food cool before putting it in
Do not overfill, and keep the vents clear
Open the door briefly and close it fully
Do not keep the fridge near a wall with no gap

Cleaning

Brush dust off the condenser coil at the back or bottom about every six months
Wipe the door gasket with mild soap and water
Defrost a direct-cool fridge when the ice gets thick

After a power cut

Keep the door closed to hold the cold. When power returns, give the fridge a few minutes before it restarts, and avoid switching it off and on repeatedly.
