cleaning coils under the fridge

1. Mount the fridge on rollers
2. Roll the fridge forward off its footprint.
3. With whatever duster reaches (from any of four sides) remove dust from the coils.
4. Roll the fridge back into its place.
5. Sweep the floor.

I bought a refrigerator coil brush from Sears. It's a very long rat-tail-looking brush that can get into the coils under my Whirlpool 18 fridge. IIRC, it cost about $5.

Yes. There is a special brush just for this purpose. You can buy one online or Home Depot. You can duct-tape a straw on the end of your crevice vacuum attachment.

It is messy as hell, but the easiest and best way is to blow it out with compressed air. Back in the good old days we used to blow them out with the Freon tank. Larry

IMHO: Two things come to mind and I have one.

1. There is a tv commercial for some long 'pipe cleaner' looking toold that will go btween the coils of the fridge.

1. An attachment that is like a long 1" x 3/4" hose that will fit back inbetween coils of the fridge. I have this, I picked it up at wally-mart. It seems to work.

Just thinking out loud,

I got mine at Lowes...lots of places should have them...

I do have that brush, but it doesn't reach the back of the coils, only the front set of coils. Is there something even thinner that reaches the back or something like a vaccuum attachment for it? I googled and found wonder wand, not sure if you folks had success with it. let me know...

Tape it to a yardstick or something, that will make it long enough...
