How to Extend the Life of Your Kitchen Appliances at Home

Have you ever experienced an appliance breakdown in your kitchen when it was least expected? In that case, it is important to make sure you take the appropriate steps and perform maintenance of kitchen equipment, frequently.

We’re all afraid that the refrigerator will spontaneously break down in the middle of the night while there is still plenty of ice cream or frozen food in the freezer, or that the oven will malfunction while dishes are being heated up just before a family dinner. If you want to sleep leaving behind all those worries, then keep reading ahead. In this post, we have compiled a list of appliance maintenance tips and how to maintain electrical domestic appliances for efficient working.

  • Read the Owner’s Manual

The owner’s manual that comes with every appliance you purchase can be a very useful resource for learning more about your investment. It often contains instructions that will help you to operate your machine safely and effectively. However, many people choose to discard it as soon as they open the packaging, without reading it first. So, the first thing you need to do is to search through that manual for any helpful advice.

  • Check your Coils

Most of the time, clogged coils are at fault for refrigerator problems. You can clean this by detaching the refrigerator’s back panel and vacuuming the dust away. Before reinstalling it, wipe everything down with a cloth. It is advised to retain ventilation behind the machine in order to save energy.

  • Defrost your Freezer 

Despite the majority of modern freezers being frost-free, it is crucial to defrost manual defrost freezers at least once a year to prevent the frost from building up to half an inch thick. Use a wooden or plastic scrape, rather than anything sharp, to remove the frost.

  • Maintain Your Dishwasher

To ensure that your dishwashing machine is operating smoothly to deliver sparkling clean, spotless dishes, it is essential to frequently clean it. Cleaning up is easy when you use a dishwasher tablet. To extend the life of your dishwasher, professional technicians must perform a thorough cleaning service once every two years.

  • Scrape plates.

It is vital to scrape out any food particles and residue from plates and glasses to prevent your dishwasher from clogging. Rinse your dishes before loading them into the dishwasher.

  • Clogged Dryer

Check for clogs whenever you use the dryer, and most importantly, remember to clean the lint trap after each load. Additionally, it’s crucial to use your dryer carefully and avoid overloading it.

  • Using your Washing Machine

Never put too much weight on your washing machine because doing so can damage the engine, tub, and bearing. A front-loading washing machine will be more effective if you’re searching for a new machine.
