Every house needs appliances, and we are here to help you figure out what the best fit is for your house, with info on all relevant household appliances. Since replacing appliances can be a strain on the family budget, even small steps to extend their life by a year or even only a few months, is well worth the effort. Look for ways to reduce operating time and apply basic care to help your appliances work better and hopefully, longer.

Electric blankets are usually passed up in inspections of appliances. Since they are an electrical item, they too, need to be checked. Look for split wires and poor operation. This is a potiential fire hazzard if overlooked.

Air cleaners, purifiers and humidifiers often operate for extended periods of time and since the function of these appliances is to efficiently improve indoor air quality, care and maintenance is very important. It can also help to extend their lifecycle. Care should include filter changes and routine cleaning of the appliances, as well as cleaning for seasonal storage.
While some dishwashers have built-in garberators that break down food particles left on the dishes, some do not and it's easier on those appliances if food scraps are removed before loading.

You should inspect the condition of the door seal periodically and keep it clean. When water or dirt builds up on the seal, it can cause mold which is difficult to get rid of. A loose or broken seal should be replaced as it can lead to unwanted leaks.

Dishwashers benefit from a routine interior wash with special scale-reducing solutions sold for this purpose. It keeps all parts working properly. We have a tendency to overstuff a dryer with larger-than-recommended loads. Not all dryer tubs handle the same capacity of laundry. Check your manual if unsure how much you can dry in it. When a dryer is overloaded, it puts a strain on the belt that turns the drum and that can lead to repair costs.

A larger load can take much longer to dry than two smaller loads, due to better air and heat circulation. You can also save energy and operating time by using reasonable time settings. There's no need to run a dryer for thirty minutes if twenty is sufficient.

Restricted air flow can tax the motor, but keeping the lint filter and the area below it clean, keeps the dryer operating more efficiently. Freezers should be located away from streaming sunlight or heat sources. Otherwise, they work much harder than necessary. Removing interior ice build-up improves air flow and helps to maintain proper freezer temperature.
Anything that restricts proper air flow can affect a vacuum motor and efficiency. Check hose and attachments for trapped debris; change or clean filters; and empty or change dirt bag/bin when full. Reduce the risk of dirt filtering through to the motor by ensuring the bag is clean and inserted properly, and that the filter is clean.
