Paying for an appliance repair in El Paso is an unwelcome and annoying expense for homeowners. Here is a quick list of things that can help lessen the chance of needing a professional home appliance repair.
Refrigerator repair: All homes accumulate dust. A good example is your refrigerator condenser. In order to run at the right temperature and efficiency, the condenser coil and rear compressor compartment gets dirty and should be vacuumed at least once a year.
Dishwasher repair: When you open your dishwasher door you will see a rubber gasket that follows the cabinet of the dishwasher all the way around. This gasket over time will pick up grime, soap residue and calcium from water. This should be wiped down periodically with warm soapy water. The same goes for the door where it meets up with the gasket. This will keep a good seal and prevent leaks. Another good tip is to keep your Jet-Dry dispenser full. Finally, watch out for dishes with stickers on them. They are notorious for coming off of the dishes and clogging the pump. Follow up with a good dishwasher cleaner at least twice a year.
Oven repair and cook top repair: The main thing that a homeowner can do to keep a stove working well is to keep it clean. If grease and grime build up this can cause problems with proper burner gas flow, and may prevent burners from lighting at all.
Washer Repair: The biggest problems are usually from overloading the washer. It is much better to do two loads that are half the size. Another good thing about limiting load size is that your clothes will come out cleaner. Also remember to empty clothes pockets before loading the washer. The newer front loaders are especially likely to shut down if there is debris in the pump. Follow up with a good washer cleaner at least twice a year.
Dryer repair: Everyone knows to keep the dryer's lint filter clean. The dirtier the filter is the more lint is going to be pulled through and into your dryer. Don't forget to check your dryer's venting. How old is it? How long is the run? Where is your vent on the outside of your home? If the venting is old and inefficient pounds of lint could be blocking the proper air flow and harming the efficiency of your dryer. There is the danger of a possible dryer fire.
