Food preparation,
storage, and cleaning are some of the household tasks that were
improved by different household appliances. Washers, dryers, ovens,
stoves, refrigerators, freezers, garbage disposals, trash compactors,
microwave ovens and more have made it so that families can live the
lifestyles that they are leading today.
These devices are also
susceptible to wear and tear. A lack of proper care can speed up the
deterioration and cost you more in replacing them. There are things
that you can do in order to keep appliances working for a little
while longer and get the most out of your investment.
Refrigerator
It is important that
the condenser coil behind the refrigerator remains dust-free, as a
dusty coil will cause the refrigerator to work harder, which in turn
reduces its life span. Dust or vacuum off the coils to help it last
longer. It is also advisable to keep refrigerators away from sources
of heat.
Dishwasher
Dishwasher water must
be kept at a high temperature so that it can effectively clean the
dishes, so it is important to raise the temperature of the water
heater thermostat if it is not hot enough. If the dishwasher has a
removable filter, it is also advisable to keep it clean and free of
food particles and other material.
Microwave Oven
Wipe the microwave
interior and door seals regularly with a damp cloth. Clean the grease
filters from the vent hood on a monthly basis. Never use metal
cooking pans with your microwave oven.
