DIY Repair Techniques
Refrigerator
Appliance Care Guide
Refrigerator
- Clean Refrigerator Coils: On most service calls for refrigerator issues, the coils are found to be dirty, which disrupts the appliance's cooling efficiency. You can locate the coil by removing the front grille. Push the cleaning brush into the coils, pull it back, and vacuum it clean. If the coils are located at the back of the refrigerator, pull them out to clean them.
- Clean Refrigerator Gaskets: If you want your fridge to serve you for a longer time, you must keep the gaskets clean and prevent sticky foods from forming a layer on them. The buildup of sticky food will require you to exert more pressure to open the door, which will tear the gasket and make the refrigerator run longer, adding to the electricity bill.
- Store Refrigerated Items Appropriately: Properly store food items in the refrigerator to prevent spills and odors. Cover every food item with respective lids to keep the food fresh and to avoid cross-contamination.
- Maintain Proper Temperature Settings: Ensure the accuracy of temperature settings for optimal performance and food safety.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: Consider scheduling professional appliance maintenance because preventative maintenance cuts out the hassle by detecting the issues and getting them resolved in time.
Washer
- Use the Right Type and Quantity of Detergent: Using the right detergent in the appropriate quantity will give your washer more life. Look for a detergent that matches your washing machine’s efficiency and use the right amount because excessive detergent can lead to buildup, causing extra wear and tear to the washer.
- Avoid Overloading the Washer: All washing machines have a specific maximum load capacity, and adding a load more than the capacity can damage the machine. Also, consider taking your bulky blankets and comforters to a laundromat and washing them in high-capacity machines.
- Clean the Lint Filter: Removing the lint from your washer increases its efficiency. Make sure you clean the lint filter from time to time.
- Balance your Washer: An unbalanced washer can cause more vibrations, damaging the internal parts. Make sure your washing machine is level and balanced to avoid potential harm.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: Consider scheduling professional appliance maintenance because preventative maintenance cuts out the hassle by detecting the issues and getting them resolved in time.
Dryer
- Avoid Overloads: Overstuffing clothes in the dryer damages the motor, belts, and other moving parts to the extent that its repair cost might be equivalent to getting a new washer.
- Avoid Dropping or Slamming the Lid: Be very careful when closing the lid. You will break the lid/door switch if you slam or shut it abruptly. Be very gentle while lowering the lid and closing the door.
- Unclog the Lint Filter: Check the lint filter and clean it. It may appear clean, but you must clean it regularly by scrubbing it in hot water with a little laundry detergent and a stiff kitchen brush.
- Avoid Loading Dirty Clothes: Never put dirty clothes directly into the dryer. Every cloth you put into it must pass the washing cycle, even if it is just wet.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: Consider scheduling professional appliance maintenance because preventative maintenance cuts out the hassle by detecting the issues and getting them resolved in time.
Dishwasher
- Keep the Dishwasher Clean: Pull out the lower rack and remove the filter cover inside the dishwasher. If you can’t locate the filter, refer to the user manual. Cleaning it will maintain the dishwasher’s efficiency.
- Clean the Edges & Exterior: You may experience a foul smell, which may be coming from the outside of the dishwasher. Wipe up the edges and exterior of the appliance using a damp cloth and regular household cleaner.
- Use an Acid to Remove Buildup: Water deposit and buildup can hamper your dishwasher’s ability to make dishes sparkly. To get rid of excess scale, use acids such as white vinegar, lemon juice, or lemonade mix and run them through a short cycle.
- Choose Optimal Loading: Overloading your dishwasher can lead to wear and tear in its mechanism. Follow the instructions and do not load it beyond the maximum capacity.
- Schedule Professional Maintenance: Consider scheduling professional appliance maintenance because preventative maintenance cuts out the hassle by detecting the issues and getting them resolved in time.
Oven
- Recalibrate Oven Temperature Settings: Follow the manual procedure to recalibrate oven temperature settings.
- Avoid Slamming the Door: Closing the door too hard
