How to Clean the Coils on a Kenmore Side-by-Side Fridge

Kenmore side-by-side refrigerators require regular cleaning to maintain their efficiency. The condenser coils are located on the bottom of the fridge where dirt, dust and pet hair can build up. Dirty coils lead to increased energy bills, a warmer fridge temperature and decreased appliance life. Clean your refrigerator's coils at least twice a year or more often if you have shedding pets.
