How do I clean my Kenmore refrigerator?

Asked 5 months ago
Cleaning a Kenmore refrigerator is essential for maintaining its performance and prolonging its lifespan. To begin, it is advisable to unplug the refrigerator from the power source to ensure safety while cleaning. Start by removing all the food and items inside the fridge. It is helpful to check the expiration dates of items before putting them back. Next, remove the shelves and drawers, as most of these can usually be washed with warm, soapy water. For stubborn stains, a mixture of baking soda and water can effectively clean surfaces without being abrasive. As you clean the shelves and drawers, also wipe down the interior walls of the refrigerator with a damp cloth or sponge, ensuring to get into the corners where spills and debris can collect. After the interior is clean, focus on the exterior. Use a soft cloth with mild soapy water to wipe down the front and handle. If the Kenmore refrigerator has stainless steel surfaces, a cleaner specifically designed for stainless steel is recommended to avoid streaks. Finally, once everything is dry and clean, replace the shelves and drawers, plug the refrigerator back in, and restock it with food. Regular cleaning every few months can keep the refrigerator looking good and functioning efficiently. For specific details on cleaning or maintenance, referring to the official Kenmore website may provide additional guidance.
