Appliance Care and Maintenance Tips from Mr. Appliance of Olympia
Did you know some basic maintenance and care can help keep your appliances in tip-top shape? Here are some suggestions from your local appliance repair experts!
Caring for Your Refrigerator
Don't Overload Your Fridge: We know avoiding overstuffing your fridge is hard. However, storing too much food, beverages, and other items can block the cool air vent, which can ratchet up your fridge's temperature to unsafe temperatures, putting your food at risk.
Change Your Water Filter: If your fridge has an ice and/or water dispenser, you should change the water filter every 6 months. Doing so will help keep your water clean and help prevent deposit buildup in your fridge's pipes. If you need help locating the water filter, check your refrigerator's owner's manual or contact the manufacturer.
Caring for Your Washing Machine
Go Easy on the Soap: When it comes to the amount of detergent you use per load, "less" is definitely "more." It's easy to think using more detergent for large or very dirty loads will help, but more detergent can ruin your clothes and damage your washer's pump. Instead, use the amount your detergent brand recommends.
Don't Overstuff Your Washer: At Mr. Appliance of Olympia, we know how tempting it is to stuff as much laundry as possible into your washer to finish the chore. However, we recommend avoiding this practice, as overloading your washer can damage the motor, tub bearings, and drum. Plus, not all of your laundry will be squeaky clean!
