Refrigerator Crisper Drawers Repair Guide
Crisper drawers are specialized compartments designed to store fruits and vegetables, maintaining optimal humidity levels to extend freshness. Typically located at the bottom of the refrigerator, these drawers feature adjustable humidity controls to create a sealed environment, preventing moisture loss and slowing spoilage. In Nairobi, where fresh produce is a dietary staple, crisper drawers are essential for preserving items like kale, tomatoes, and avocados, ensuring households and restaurants maintain food quality.
