Pro-Tips for Maximum Savings:
Check the Seal: While the foil helps the inside, a leaky door gasket is often the cause of the frost. Place a dollar bill in the door; if you can pull it out easily when the door is closed, your seal needs replacing.
Keep it Full: A full freezer stays cold better than an empty one. If you don’t have much food, fill empty milk jugs with water and freeze them to act as “cold anchors.”
The 2/3 Rule: Don’t pack food tightly against the back wall. Leave a little space for the air to circulate around your new foil lining.
Conclusion
By spending ten cents on aluminum foil and ten minutes of your time, you can extend the life of your appliance, protect your food, and keep your hard-earned money from “melting” away into the electric company’s pocket.
