The Secret to Maintaining Your Appliances in Connecticut

Appliance Repair in Connecticut

It's 2022 and technology is moving at a rapid pace, even with appliances in Connecticut. Also gas and inflation are up! And for those who like to save a few pennies and keep their household assets in tip-top shape. Here is a little wisdom I have learned over the years in becoming Connecticut's greatest appliance repairman.

Clean Your Appliances

• Duh, that sounds like a no-brainer, but you will be surprised how much dust a refrigerator can suck up over the years, and dryer lint buildup can affect how fast your clothes dry. Here are a few quick tips.

• Refrigerator - every three months

• Oven - with the changing of the seasons

• Dishwasher - once a month

• Garbage Disposal - once a week

• Washing Machine - once a month

• Dryer - remove lint after drying each load of clothes

When you take the time to clean your appliances regularly, they will run more efficiently, making your home appliances last longer and happier!

Level Your Appliances

Leveling your home appliances will help them to last longer because they can run properly with less stress on the mechanical parts. Appliances that aren't level will often leak, and leaky appliances are a sign of trouble. So make sure that your refrigerator, dishwasher, washing machine, dryer, and any other appliances vital to your home's smooth operation are sitting level with the floor and provide enough space between appliances. A good rule of thumb is to have a minimum 1/4 inch gap between each appliance and make sure you give adequate space for vents to do their job.

Test Your Appliances

If your appliances are giving indications that they are not working correctly, performing a few simple tests can help you determine if the problem is a temporary glitch or if you need to call Connecticut's leading appliance repairman, so we can fix the problem. Since so many modern appliances have smart technology capabilities, simply unplugging the appliance, waiting a few minutes, and plugging it back in might reset the circuit boards and get the machine back up and running correctly. I also recommend that for your smartphone from time to time.

Applying these simple steps should ensure that your appliances last for years to come.
