I recently want to clean the condenser coils on our side by side Whirlpool fridge WRS325FDAM and was completely shocked and stumped to find that
the engineers decided to make easy cleaning for consumers nearly impossible! The pleated style makes is IMPOSSIBLE to clean anything but the very front and possibly the rear coil, the rest are INACCESSIBLE to the average consumer.
Our previous fridge a 1998 Whirlpool side by side had stacked condensor coils and was fairly easy to clean with the proper narrow tools. This newer fridge is nearly IMPOSSIBLE without using a appliance hand truck which we don't have access to.
I was so annoyed I sent a e mail to their engineering department to complain. The coils are pretty plugged with dust and I know it's reducing the efficiency and
ability to cool properly. This problem COULD be easily solved by offering the option of a window air conditioner like filter that would be placed in back of the unit covering where the ventilation holes (for the blower fan) are for a few extra bucks...this is ridiculous.
Anyone here from Whirlpool? I'd appreciate a response on how to clean these without lifting it up on a appliance hand truck and tilting it!
