Blow Dry Toughened Fridge Gasket

A fridge does not have to be age old to have a hard and non-functional gasket.  Did you know that in a few minutes, the toughened fridge gasket could actually go back to being functional again?

Turn on the the blow dryer on high and concentrate on the toughened parts of the fridge gasket.  Most service people would just have the part replaced altogether.  But here is something you can actually try yourself.  Just make sure the refrigerator is unplugged from the electrical outlet.  

Refrigerator Defrosting

How often do you defrost your refrigerator or freezer chest? It is ideal to get down to this task when the frost is about 1/4 inch thick.

Scraping frost with a sharp utensil usually causes serious damage. I have seen this happen a few times. If you need to, use a dull plastic scraper instead and never scrap against those metal parts inside your fridge. Most new refrigerator models that are being sold in the market comes with an ice scraper to do just that.

After defrosting, dip a cloth in glycerin and wipe the freezer coils with it. The frost will come off more easily the next time you do the defrosting.

If you are having a hard time freeing a stuck ice cube tray, aply a towel soaked in hot water to its edges. Wait for a few seconds and it will come off in a while. Works every time. Happy defrosting! :D
