Georgia’s summer heat is hard on refrigerators and freezers. When your kitchen or garage is hot, the fridge works much harder to stay cold — and dirty coils, a weak fan, or an aging compressor that coped in winter can fail in July. Here’s why, and how to prevent it.
Why summer is tough
A refrigerator dumps heat from inside to the room. The hotter the room, the harder the compressor and condenser fan must work. Dusty coils trap even more heat, so a fridge that ran fine in spring can run nonstop — or quit — in summer.
Prevent a summer breakdown
- Vacuum the condenser coils before summer
- Give the fridge a few inches of airflow behind and above
- Keep a garage fridge out of direct heat if possible
- Don’t pack it so full that air can’t circulate
If it quit in the heat
