As the seasons change, it’s a good idea to make sure your appliances are in good shape for the fall and winter months. Here’s a checklist for fall maintenance
1.Refrigerator and Freezer
Clean the coils: Dust and debris can affect efficiency. Vacuum the coils located at the back or beneath the appliance.
Check the door seals: Make sure they are intact and sealing properly to keep the cold air in.
2.Dishwasher
Inspect the spray arms: Ensure they are not clogged and can rotate freely.
Clean the filter: Remove and clean the filter to prevent odors and improve efficiency.
3.Washer and Dryer
Clean the lint trap: In the dryer, make sure the lint trap is clear and consider cleaning the vent duct as well to reduce fire risk.
Check hoses: Inspect washer hoses for any signs of wear or leaks and replace them if necessary.
4.Range and Oven
Clean the oven: Remove any spills or buildup to maintain efficiency and prevent smoke.
Check burners: Ensure they are functioning properly and that there are no obstructions.
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your appliances and keep them running efficiently through the colder months.
