Save money on electricity bill | Do I need my fridge seal replaced

How do I know if my fridge seals need replacing?

Is your fridge/freezer door holding closed or popping open?
Is your fridge or freezer icing up?
Is there water leaking?
Is the fridge/freezer maintaining temperature?
Are your seals cracked, split or torn?
Are your seals buckled at the bottom or corners?
Are your seals hard and brittle?
Are your seals discoloured or mouldy?
Can you see a gap between the seal and the door?

If you answered yes to any of the above, then your fridge or freezer could be leaking cold air. If the cold air is escaping through your worn seals, the motor has to run longer to maintain the correct temperature to keep your food fresh. An efficient fridge uses up to 10% of your household electricity. Save money today and check your fridge and freezer seals.

Will I save money on my electricity bill if I have new seals?

Yes, If your seals are broken, cracked or not sealing properly then the fridge motor (compressor) will be working harder and longer to keep the fridge cold, therefore using more electricity. By having correctly installed and fitted seals your electricity bill will be reduced because the fridge will operate more efficiently.

What does the fridge seal do?

The seal holds the door closed, this keeps the cold air trapped inside the fridge and stops it from escaping. If you seals are broken, cracked or not closing properly, your fridge motor will be working harder to make up for the escaping cold air.
