Maybe you will go to the good old internet to find the
best company. While this adjustment won’t necessarily change a twenty-year-old clunker into an energy
efficient freezer, there’s a good chance you’ll find your freezer is either too cold (thus wasting energy) or too
warm (thus increasing the chance of spoiled food). But I can’t claim to have
measured the effect this had on efficiency, and it was probably not that great, since heat rises, and so insulation on the top of the freezer is unlikely to be that effective.
When looking at energy efficient freezers don’t just consider whether they have
an ENERGY STAR rating. Even with an ENERGY STAR unit, you can do much better
than the Energy Guide rating for the unit if you follow
these energy efficient freezer tips. Look for the right size, the right configuration (upright
or chest), and the best energy efficiency rating
you can get. Being expert in the field, they analyze the problem closely, understand it before starting with the repair and plan the best
solution.

The improper maintenance will lead many problems.
Maintenance and cleaning plans are available from many places that sell appliances and even some that offer repairs.
Amana dishwashers are mainly known for their reliability and ease of use.
Some of these tips are common across many energy
efficiency guides and websites, while others I’ve
come up with myself in my constant drive to cut energy use in my
home. I’ve organized them into three categories:
making your freezer operate more efficiently, making
your use of your freezer more efficient, and choosing the best
new freezer. To measure freezer temperature, your best bet is an electronic probe thermometer, which contains a digital read-out unit along
with a probe at the end of a one to three yard long wire.
This can indicate either a freezer in need of repair or replacement, or some external factor such as
a poor seal or outside heat source that is decreasing the freezer’s
efficiency. Measure your freezer’s energy consumption, with a Kill-A-Watt meter or other electrical consumption meter.
Keep tabs on your freezer’s behavior. From getting stains out of your clothes and cooking holiday dinners
to dishwashing your favorite china, Whirlpool appliances are there to help keep
your day moving in the right direction. Try not to
locate any freezer or fridge near heat sources such as sunlight from a kitchen window, a stove
range, a dishwasher, a clothes dryer (if you have a basement freezer), or a forced air heating register or duct.
Also don’t keep the freezer in a small room with a closed door, as the
heat expelled from the freezer will have nowhere to go, and will simply head back towards
your frozen food! I once set it all the
way down before a big freezer-jam-making session, and forgot to turn it back to -18C for several weeks.
Many modern freezers dissipate the heat they remove from the interior by running the warmed refrigerant through thin tubes along the outside of the unit, rather than having exposed coils on the
back which tend to dust up. Knowing where these coils run can help you figure out what parts of your freezer should have good airflow around them.
Keep dust away from the coils and compressor.
Energy efficient freezers, when reasonably full and set to
the appropriate temperature, should cycle every
thirty minutes to three hours and most of that cycle the compressor should be off.
If you have the temperature set too high or too low, adjust the temperature dial accordingly
and measure again after another 24 hours. Not only will
this detect forgotten, accidental, or mischievous changes to your dial
setting, but if the temperature changes markedly you may
discover you have a faulty freezer thermostat or some external
factor that is preventing the freezer from reaching its
desired temperature. |
