Looks like “someone” is not very good at house cleaning. A small cheap vacuum from Harbor Freight or boxmart can do wonders to help with heat dissipation on backside of fridges. Also I prefer to poke the condensate drip line through the access door to drip any water on the ground instead of causing a mess inside the drip tank. Refrigerator air intake vent screens can stop most bugs from making a nest up inside fridge components..especially hornets and mud daubers.

One thing not mentioned is to blow out the burner area and the flue.
