7 Tips to Keep Your Appliances Running Great!

Clean the Condenser Coils on Your Fridge

• Clogged coils restrict air flow, which makes your fridge work harder.

• Once or twice a year, use a coil cleaning brush and hand-held vacuum to suck any dust, dirt, or pet hair out of the coils.

Take Care of Your Dryer

• The number one thing you can do to keep your dryer humming (and prevent fires) is to make sure you keep the lint trap clean.

• You can use a brush like this one to clean out the lint trap

• Also don’t forget to have your dryer vent cleaned on a regular basis as well, call the Dryer Vent Wizard and tell them Al’s sent you!

Clean Your Garbage Disposal

• You can keep your disposal clean and smelling great by using this product from Affresh, you simply drop a tablet into the disposal with the water running and run the disposal to allow it to clean.

Wash Your Washer

• Running your washer on a vinegar cleaning cycle or using a product like Affresh Washing Machine Cleaner will keep it clean and doing its job.

• Also be sure to check your detergent drawer. If it’s caked with residue, pull it out and give it a proper cleaning.

• Ensuring you stick to 1 oz of detergent per load will help prevent the buildup of soap.

Avoid Overloading Your Machine

• Overloading your washer or dryer causes damage to motors, belts, and other moving parts by causing additional stress on the machine.

Don't Slam Your Doors!

• If you continually drop or slam the lid to your washer or dryer (top or front load), you're going to break the lid/door switch or even worse the hinges themselves!

Clean Your Fridge Gaskets

• Clean your door gasket with warm water and a sponge. You are able to use a mild detergent (e.g. Dawn, Palmolive, etc.) if needed.

• If you keep your refrigerator door gaskets clean, they'll seal properly and last the life of the fridge.
