However there is no way to get vacuum or brush anywhere near the inner /\ coils. I blow them off with a can of spray air, as best I can. It's better than nothing but doesn't really clean them.

+1 Unless your take the box outside and put some real air to dislodge
crud.


Or put it on the back deck and take the water hose to it. That will
remove a lot of what air won't touch.


They make a coil cleaner for outside condenser coils , then hosed off.
Wouldn't it work outside on the fridge, too...

Don't see why not. The crud I've seen on some condenser coils - and on
dehumidifiers - would never come off with an air hose and would
require a bit of work with a water hose
