Appliance Care and Maintenance Tips

Caring for and maintaining your appliances is a great way to save on energy bills, help your appliances run efficiently, and help your appliances last their expected lifespan! Here are a few tips for some of your most important appliances!

Caring for Your Refrigerator

• Don't overstuff your fridge. Overloading your fridge with food and beverages can block the cool air vent. When this happens, your fridge won't get cool enough which puts your food at risk.
• Change your water filter. You should change your fridge's water filter every 6 months or so. To help locate the filter, you can try reaching out to the manufacturer or check out your owner's manual.

How Often Should I Have Maintenance Done on My Fridge?

Refrigerators are hard at work and are constantly running all day and every day, ensuring that your food is kept fresh. Did you know that regularly scheduled maintenance will ensure that it lasts longer?

With a refrigerator, there are different types of maintenance you and our experienced team of appliance experts can handle:

• Daily: Maintain a clean fridge and ensure that all food is covered to keep odors from moving through your fridge and into your freezer. Adding a box of baking soda to your fridge will also help absorb odors.
• Each Month: You can empty out your ice to ensure that it does not form a solid block or absorb odors from your freezer
• Every 3 Months: Ensure that the door gasket is clean and still closes correctly. A refrigerator door that does not close all the way will put stress on the motors of your fridge. You may also clean the condenser coils which are found at the back of your refrigerator. If they are not clean and are covered in dust, pet hair, and more, it will put stress on the fridge’s compressor.
• Every 6 Months: Does your fridge have a water dispenser? Replace the water folder to make sure that your water and your ice stay free of odors! The drain hole and drip pan should be cleaned as well.

If you have any questions about performing some of the maintenance duties above, feel free to reach out to the refrigerator repair experts at Mr. Appliance of Edison. If you need appliance repair in NJ, we are here for you!

Caring for Your Dishwasher

• Keep your dishwasher squeaky clean! It's important to clean your dishwasher since food, grease, and soap can buildup inside. This means your dishes won't get as clean and the food and debris can damage the filter and pump. Here's a few tips for cleaning your dishwasher:

• Clean the filter regularly by removing bits of food and debris and running the filter screen under hot water.
• Deep clean your dishwasher once a month with dishwasher cleaning tablets.
