I keep 6inch wide lengths of thin masonite that are almost four feet long for this purpose. many fridges will ruin floors. Never roll them out without protection. Just line the two boards with the wheels on the front. Also, many fridges will require compressed air because only the front of the coils are accessible. Blowing them out works great. Having a shop vac running, with the hose next to the coils will help to catch a lot of the dust from blowing them out.
Right? Pro-tip: mop the floor all around the fridge shut a very wet mop just before using the leaf blower. It will capture most of the dust, then mop up!
On many frigs (including mine), to do a decent job, you need to empty them out & tip them up against a wall to access the coils from below. It's a real pita.
Thank you so much. This fridge looks exactly like my crappy Maytag! This helps a lot. I see that the air compressor cleaned out the dust well, but all that dust is just going further back there. Isn't that a potential problem later on down the line?
Sorry for getting back to you late, I made sure I blew everything out and checked multiple times with my flashlight, the air compressor is pretty powerful and just shot the stuff all over the floor.
Pro-tip: mop the floor around the fridge with a very wet mop just before blowing the dust out. The water will capture most of the dust. Then just mop up the mess!
