#2 – Testing the temperature of your fridge

If you want to make sure your refrigerator is working at the right temperature, then we suggest buying a refrigerator thermometer.

It might not be as accurate as of the thermocouples that experts use at their labs, but it is close enough and will definitely save you from the bacteria that multiply rapidly when the temperature increases, risking you for many stomach bugs.

Basically, the refrigerator would measure the temperature of the air, but you want to know the temperature of the food, that’s why you should put the thermometer in a cup of water. Leave it for 24h in both the freezer and fridge, then based on the results, fix their temperature.

#3 – The best fridge

What makes a fridge the best? For starters, it needs to keep our food cold and unspoiled for the longest time.

For a week, experts have been testing tons of fridges by placing temperature sensors inside each one of them over the course of a week. The two best models that were found to hold the right temperature are GE Café CFE28TSHSS and Samsung RH29H9000SR.

If you are looking for a cheap fridge that still works as good as you need them to, then you can check these ones that are under $1,000:

• Insignia NS-RTM18WH7.

• Whirlpool WRT318FZDB.

• Samsung RT18M6215SG.

• GE GAS18PSJSS.

#4 – Ways to keep the fridge cold

Whether you just bought your refrigerator or it has been with you for a while, here are a few tips that will help it remain cold:

• The door should not be opened frequently (if you are a parent, then it is a losing battle for you).

• During a power failure, try not to open the fridge because it will still hold a good temperature for 36 hours (as long as the door doesn’t get opened).

• You need to check if the gasket is working well. If you can open it with one finger, then it is not good enough.

• Try to dust the cooling coils of your refrigerator.

• Cover your food items, like keeping the eggs in their carton instead of the door.

• Your fridge should be filled, but always with space for air to circulate.
