Dual refrigerators are becoming increasingly popular in Los Angeles homes because they offer separate cooling zones — one for refrigeration and one for freezing. The freezer section is essential for long-term food preservation, and when properly maintained, it ensures your frozen foods remain safe and flavorful.
How does it work? The freezer uses evaporator coils to absorb heat from inside and then expels that heat through the condenser coils. Fans keep air circulating, ensuring consistent cold air distribution. A thermostat monitors the internal temperature, and modern models from Sub-Zero, Thermador, and Gaggenau even use advanced sensors for precision.
Tips to maintain your freezer:
– Keep the freezer at 0°F for best preservation.
– Avoid overpacking shelves to allow air circulation.
– Defrost if ice builds up thicker than 1/4 inch.
– Check and clean the door gasket to prevent cold air leaks.
– Vacuum condenser coils every 6 months to protect the compressor.
– Store food in airtight containers to prevent freezer burn.
Professional maintenance is recommended once a year to check refrigerant levels, thermostat calibration, and the overall health of the compressor. Our team at Sherman Oaks Elite Service can help extend the life of your freezer with routine servicing throughout Sherman Oaks, Studio City, Encino, Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Valley Village, and Toluca Lake.
