Appliance maintenance

Here are a few tips to make your appliances last longer.

Washer--Don't over load the machine. Use less soap not more. Keep fabric types separate. Replace your hoses every 5 years. Use a cleaning product once a month like Afresh. Keep the gaskets clean.

Dryer--Don't over load the machine. Clean your lint trap after every load. Clean inside your dryer once per year. Clean your venting duct work once per year.

Refrigerator--Clean your condenser once per year. Clean out old food once per month. Dump your ice once per month. Change your water filter every 3 months. Clean the gaskets and shelves with soap and water at least twice per year.

Dishwasher--Use high quality soap. Don't over load the machine. Scrape food before you put it in the dishwasher. Use a cleaning product like vinegar 2-4 times per year.

Microwave--Do not clean with ammonia based cleaners. Keep the microwave free of grease. Cover food while heating. Never operated the unit empty.

Ovens and cook tops--Use a good quality cleaner designed for hot surfaces to keep appliances clean. Use the self clean function as needed.
