Keep the temperature level to that recommended — too low means longer running with higher costs and unnecessary wear. Defrost regularly. Ensure that the condenser grid which is usually mounted behind a refrigerator is dusted periodically. The sealing gasket around the door or lid can be come dislodged or damaged — check this. They' can also become brittle with age and lose their effectiveness.
