Model WRS 322 FDA The coil is parallel to the front (L-R) of the refrig and then shaped like a "wave" (up and down) toward the back. I think there are about 4 "waves" total. Therefore, you can easily clean the "front" of one portion of the first coil only. I don't see any really effective way to clean the coils completely unless you tilt the refrig toward the back to get under. Even then, you won't be cleaning the coils positively as you can't get to the back side of the "waves". Think of cleaning a wavy window screen on only (1) side. I don't see that compressed air would be much help as the debris has nowhere to go due to baffling. A brush is almost useless except for the front 1/2 wave (which probably catches the bulk of the debris). If only they had positioned the wave (up/dn) perpendicular to the front. Then a specialty brush could get at both sides of the coil.

If the environment is particularly greasy or dusty, or there is significant pet traffic in the home, the condenser should be cleaned every 2 to 3 months to ensure maximum efficiency. The condenser coils are located behind the base grille.
