    Default Help - Difficulty cleaning coils on Sears Kenmore Coldspot Fridge

    My fridge is a side by side Kenmore Coldspot and my condensor coils are very dusty. They are at the bottom of my fridge and shaped like an accordion. I can only clean the front of the coils with a vacuum but cannot reach between to get at the middle to back of the fridge.

    I have found a cleaning brush and vacuum attachment but they seem to be too large to fit between the coils.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    A condenser coil brush like this should do it.

    Default Similar problem

    I've been searching this blog for a little bit and it seems like this post most accurately describes my problem - I can't get into the middle of the accordian type condenser coils to clean them well. They are spaced too close together for the brush to fit in there without getting forceful. I don't want to damage the coils by jamming the brush in there between two narrowly spaced coils. Model # is 106.52604100. Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks.
