Some refrigerators are not this easy to clean. I added an air filter on the intake side being careful to plug all other sources in air input. That way, the condenser fins stay clean,

I notice that this wasn't 100% clean after using the vacuum. Is that important? Also, I just cleaned my GE condenser (vacuumed and wiped with a cloth) but the freezer section isn't yet below 2 on the temperature meter in the fridge. Will it take a while to drop to at least 0 again, which was it's original setting??
