Maintenance
Check out our tips to prevent many common issues and extend the life of your Hotpoint Refrigerator.
Regular Cleaning
Even though the HTS18CCS model features a NeverClean™ Condenser that typically does not require cleaning, it's important to keep the interior and exterior surfaces of the refrigerator clean. Wipe spills immediately, and clean surfaces with a mild detergent and warm water to prevent odors and maintain the appliance's appearance.
Check Temperature Controls
Ensure the upfront temperature controls are set to the recommended setting to maintain optimal cooling performance. Regularly monitor the temperature and adjust if necessary to ensure the refrigerator operates efficiently.
Organize Storage
Use the adjustable wire shelves, gallon door storage, and can storage shelf to organize your food in a way that promotes airflow. Proper organization helps maintain a consistent temperature and reduces energy consumption.
Ice Maker Maintenance
If your model includes a factory-installed icemaker, ensure it is functioning correctly by regularly checking for ice production and inspecting for any blockages or leaks. Clean the ice bin periodically to prevent odors.
Fruit and Vegetable Storage
Utilize the vegetable and fruit crispers for storing fresh produce. This not only helps in maintaining freshness but also optimizes the refrigerator's space.
