Check on the door of the refrigerator when you open it next and inspect the rubber seal around the edge. If you have a leaky seal, it’s bad news for the refrigerator. Cool air escapes and the refrigerator has to work overtime to keep the food cold. How do you know if the seal is on its way out?
Got a fiver handy? Take your five-dollar bill and close the door with the bill half-hanging out of the refrigerator. Pull the bill out. If it comes out without any resistance, you could have an old gasket that needs to be replaced. But if your bill stays firmly wedged and requires some effort to pull out, this is the sign of a healthy seal.
