Refrigerators are a vital part of the kitchen. There are many ways to organize and use a refrigerator, so there is no one size- fits- all approach. If you are looking to expand your refrigerator storage, look into adding some of the following items:
Sealers: These are used to protect other food and items from being exposed to air or water when closed. Some brands do not have adequate coverage while others have more than one style of cover. When looking at covers, it is important that they fit correctly and be able to easily remove and place back on the refrigerator.

Shelfs: These hold foods in a order that they appear in the refrigerator.

Check the automatic cool down settings
If your refrigerator does not seem to be cooling or freezing properly, then you should check its automatic cooling and chilling settings.
Auto-cooling and auto-icing features are common on modern refrigerators. These features use computer software to determine when the fridge is cold enough and changes the temperature and function of the fridge to keep that goal in mind.
If the software is wrong or has been changed since your refrigerator was purchased, then it may no longer work. A lot of people who purchase new Refridgerators look at the auto-curing features but ditch them when their new Refridgerator does not even winter up right.
Check the fan setting
If your refrigerator does not seem to be cooling or refreshing effectively, check its fan setting.
A common problem for people is that the fan does not seem to be operating effectively. This can be a frustrating situation as you want your refrigerator to stay cool and functioning!
To make sure the fan is operating efficiently, hold down the buttons on the front of your refrigerator for a few seconds and then release. If the fridge is staying cooled, it should move up and down smoothly while doing so.
If the fridge seems to operate fine but nothing seems to stay cold, there may be an issue with this setting. An easy fix is to buy a unit that has memory function built into it so that if you forget which one set it back to original settings.
Make sure the doors are closing properly
If your refrigerator is not cooling or freezing properly, then the doors may be closing too quickly. This can cause heat to escape, which could contribute to overheating!
To prevent this, make sure that the doors are closing properly. If they are not, then check them to see if they are locking or unlocking on their own. If that does not solve the problem, then you will need to replace them.
It could be the bottom of the door that is causing issues. If that is the case, then you will need to remove it in order for the technician to check it.
Run the self-test function
If your fridge has a self-test function, you can use this to see if the unit is working. Open the door and look inside. If there is a white light, you have a working unit. If there is a red light, you have a malfunctioning one.
If you see a test button, press it to activate the test function. Then check that it works and that it holds its temperature well. If it doesn’t, try changing the settings to make it work- more below!
Difficulty: This can be done by anyone with little or no training.
Look for any signs of frost or ice build-up
If your refrigerator has a self-cooling feature, make sure it is working. If it doesn’t, you may be removing an expensive feature to save space in your refrigerator.
To have your refrigerator use this feature, you must open the door a little bit while it is winterizing or when it is operating. This takes a few minutes of her time to program and reach for it.
If you notice any signs of frost or ice build-up on your food and beverage items, such as small pockets of water or snow, then look for signs of frozenness. If you can see some ice crystals, then the self-cooling feature is working!
Self-cooling features work by reflecting some heat from the fridge herself. If she needs to program her function settings, she’ll have to touch them which takes a little effort.
Test the temperature using a food thermometer
Most people do it every time they buy a new refrigerator, but it can save you a lot of money in the long run. You can use a food thermometer to test the temperature of your fridge’s contents.
When your fridge is cold, store items in their appropriate containers or mixed in with others. If you have determined what temperature your food needs, purchase the correct temperature food for your fridge.
Once you have stored your foods properly, check your fridge over the weekend to see if it has held its coolness. If so, congratulations! You got yourself a good deal on an all-around better refrigerator! If not, start looking into ways to fix this issue.
A possible solution is to purchase a wraparound ice maker. These units prevent things from disappearing during storage and cooling processes.
Call an expert to check the cooling unit
If your refrigerator does not seem to be cooling or cooling properly, the unit may be bad. There are a few things that look wrong with a refrigerator, so do not rule out this as the cause.
A breakdown in the manufacturing process can cause this. An unknown product or condition can result in this appliance not functioning as desired.
Checking the ice maker and/or the dispenser will help fix this as well since they both need replacement. If those are working correctly, then you know it is just a problem with one of the parts.
If you know where it is located, checking that out will also help prevent future problems.
