Keep it Upright
A mini fridge will be easier to move if it is laying down, but this can make the compressor malfunction. After getting one of these in the mail, leave it upright. When moving it, make sure to leave it in an upright position so that it does not suffer any type of damage during the move.
If it is not kept in an upright position, there could be damage to the refrigerator, and it might not work after the move. Guarantee that it still functions properly by keeping it in an upright position.
Keep it Clean
While students are away at college with their mini fridge, it is important to keep the inside of the mini fridge squeaky clean. If students are not used to this, they are encouraged to mark a day a week in their planner to clean out the fridge.
To clean it out a mini fridge, simply take everything out of the fridge. Throw out anything that is old or that has expired. (Make sure to take out the trash after doing this to avoid unpleasant odors.) Then, wipe off the shelves with a disinfectant wipe. Don’t forget any additional compartments on the inside of the door, like a built-in can dispenser.
After that, replace the items that go back in the fridge, and repeat this process once a week.
In between cleaning out the compact refrigerator it is important to make sure that any spills get cleaned up immediately. Also, toss out food that is old in between cleaning.
