Abstract
A filter device is presented for use with refrigerators. The filter device has a frame, a filter element and at least one connection member. The filter device is connected to a refrigerator thereby sealing the space below a refrigerator. Once in potion, the filter device forces air to pass through the filter element prior to accessing the coils of the refrigerator. This system helps to prevent the build-up of debris on the coils which reduces the need to clean the coils, improves the efficiency of the refrigerator and improves the longevity of the refrigerator.
