How to Clean the Coils on a Kenmore Coldspot

Refrigerator coils can build up dust and debris from regular use, especially if you have pets. Accumulated pet hair can block airflow and cause the refrigerator to work harder than usual and use more energy. The Kenmore website recommends cleaning the coils on your Coldspot refrigerator every two or three months to keep it working its best. With the proper tools and preparation, you can clean and maintain your Kenmore Coldspot refrigerator with minimal effort.
