How to Properly Stock a Refrigerator

When we get home from the grocery store, most of us want to put our food anywhere in the refrigerator that it will fit so we can get on with our lives. It usually doesn't get thought about, but where in the refrigerator we keep our food has a big impact on how long it lasts. Using this infographic from Greatist, 24/7 Refrigerator Repairs has produced a guide detailing which foods should go where in the fridge.

Top Shelves

The upper shelves of the refrigerator should be reserved for foods which do not need to be cooked, because the temperatures up here are a little warmer than the bottom of the refrigerator. Examples of items perfect for the top shelves are:

• Juice and Soda
• Leftovers
• Ready-to-eat foods

Bottom Shelves

As elementary school science taught us, warm air rises. This is true even inside your refrigerator, and it naturally causes the bottom shelves to stay colder than anywhere else in the refrigerator. Because of this, you should place food which is prone to spoiling here in order to preserve it for as long as possible. Some examples of these foods are:

• Dairy
• Raw Meat
• Eggs

Crisper Drawers

Those drawers located at the bottom of most refrigerators are called crisper drawers. The purpose of these drawers is to provide ideal conditions for fruits and vegetables. They are able to create this environment by producing humidity levels which vary from the rest of the refrigerator. You should keep your produce in these drawers, but keep your fruits and vegetables separated to maintain optimal freshness.

Door

When you open the refrigerator door, the items on it become surrounded by warm air, sometimes for extended periods of time. The temperature of the items on the door fluctuates more than anywhere else in the refrigerator, so it is recommended to keep items resistant to spoiling here such as:

• Condiments
• Water
• Juice and Soda

Refrigerator Terms Glossary

Technical jargon can be confusing in a lot of industries – refrigeration is no exception. This glossary makes it easy to understand terms commonly used when talking about refrigerators.

Adjustable Shelving: the ability to remove the shelves in your refrigerator and place them in different levels. This flexibility allows for the storage of large or odd-shaped items.

Auto Defrost: automatically prevents the buildup of ice on the back of the refrigerator by heating the back wall for a short period of time to melt any ice that may have formed. The water is usually drained through a duct in the back.

Compressor: essentially the heart of your refrigerator. A low pressure gas is pumped into the compressor, which compresses it into a high pressure gas, raising its temperature. The gas is then moved to the condenser for the next step of the refrigeration cycle.

Condenser: the heat exchanger of the refrigerator. The condenser removes the heat from the gas and condenses it into a liquid refrigerant which, with the help of some other parts, keeps the inside of your refrigerator cold.

Crisper Drawer: drawers, usually located on the bottom of the fresh food section of your refrigerator, with adjustable humidity settings to keep your produce fresh for as long as possible.

Digital Display: a small screen on the inside of some refrigerators which displays the temperature.

Door Gasket: the rubber strip found on the inside of your refrigerator door. The gasket acts as a seal to minimize heat exchange between the inside of the refrigerator and the rest of your kitchen.

Drain Pan: located out of sight next to the compressor, the drain pain collects water produced during the defrost cycle of your refrigerator.

Energy Rating: an industry standard rating ranging from A-G which indicates how much energy your refrigerator consumes when operating normally.

Ice Maker: a device located in the freezer compartment of some models which receives water from the inlet valve, freezes it into ice cubes, and automatically fills the ice bin.

Leveling Legs: adjustable legs located at the base of your refrigerator to allow it to maintain level on uneven surfaces.

Manual Defrost: refrigerators without an auto-defrost feature must be manually defrosted to remove any ice that has built up. The process of manually defrosting a refrigerator requires the user to unplug it from the wall and wait for the ice to melt.

Multi-Zone Cooling: A feature which allows for multiple zones in your refrigerator to be set to different temperatures. This is primarily used for cooling wines and chilling small items (such as soda cans) quickly.

Noise Level: Measured in dBs, the noise level specifies how loud or quiet your refrigerator will be when running.

Reversible Door: the ability for the hinges on your refrigerator doors to be located on either the left or right side.

Thermostat: a temperature-triggered switch which toggles the compressor on and off to maintain the desired temperature inside the refrigerator.

4 Common Refrigerator Headaches and How to Fix Them

Refrigerators have been referred to as the most important innovation in the history of food because of how much easier they make our daily lives. This is true 99% of the time, but when they break they make our lives harder. Luckily, many refrigeration issues can be solved quickly without leaving your house. We discuss four of these problems in this article. For everything not covered here, you can call 24/7 Refrigerator Service.

The refrigerator is on, but is warm.

Check the temperature control setting located on the inside of your refrigerator. It is possible that your preference was adjusted recently, especially if you have young children in your house. If the temperature control is at it's normal setting, make sure that your refrigerator is at least 3-6 inches away from the wall to allow for proper air flow. If this is not the problem, your refrigerator may be over-stuffed. A fully packed refrigerator cuts down on the internal circulation of cold air and can cause warm spots in the fridge.

My refrigerator is very noisy.

If you have a frost-free refrigerator and are hearing popping noises, this could actually be a sign that your refrigerator is working properly. The defrost heater commonly pops and hisses when it is activated. If this is not the case, the most likely culprit is the evaporator fan motor, located in your freezer. Open your freezer door and see if the noise gets louder. If it does, you will need to replace the evaporator fan. If the noise does not get louder, contact 24/7 Refrigerator Service because it is due to the condenser fan or the compressor.

The refrigerator has been running for hours straight.

First, ask yourself if you or anyone who uses your refrigerator has adjusted the temperature settings within the past 24 hours, as it is not uncommon for a fridge to take this long to cool down. It is also common for a refrigerator to continuously run if you are in a very humid location. If neither of these things apply to you, there a few things you can do. First, vacuum the condenser coils located on the back of the refrigerator. If this doesn't work, test your door's seals. To do this, close the fridge door on a piece of paper. If the paper is easy to remove or slide up and down, you have a faulty seal. It is a quick, cheap, and easy fix, just call your local appliance repair service with the model information of your refrigerator.

My refrigerator is running fine, but the light bulb will not turn on.

If your refrigerator is running, but the light refuses to turn on, there are two solutions. First and foremost, replace the light bulb. If there is still no light, even with the new bulb, it is likely that the problem is caused by a faulty door switch. You can call a local appliance repair specialist or learn how to test the switch on your own by clicking here.
