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.
