Since refrigeration is a very important part of food safety and food saving, you might want to check yours to see if the gaskets are all doing their job and the temperatures in the fridge portion and the freezer portion are correct.

Most know that to check the gaskets, you close the door with a dollar bill sticking out. Pull the dollar out slowly. If there is some resistance, then the gasket is ok in that spot. If it slides out easily, then the gasket needs to be replaced. Repeat that at various intervals around the doors.

Use a thermometer designed for the fridge to keep a constant eye on the temperatures, so your food doesn’t spoil so quickly.

If your refrigerator is in very bad condition and isn’t maintaining proper safe temperatures, it may be time to start shopping for a new one.
