Most of us underestimate the importance of timely servicing our home appliances to ensure their efficient, uninterrupted, and safe operation. Performing regular maintenance procedures will save you time, nerves, and money. Scheduling an annual maintenance visit is much easier than spending hours searching for a new appliance, considering so many factors like availability, size, design, and personal preferences you might have. Neglecting annual maintenance for your clothes dryer can cause a deadly fire that may result in property damage, or worse, harm you or your family as a result. Lastly, it’s always cheaper to perform preventive maintenance than it is to pay for costly breakdowns as a result of neglecting your appliances.

Refrigerator

Dirty condenser coils on a refrigerator cause the compressor to work longer and harder, making it less efficient and shortening the overall lifespan of the appliance.

Washer

Mildew buildup in washers is a very common issue overlooked by almost everyone. Mildew is especially common on front-load washers that have door boot seals that after only a few years can build up large volumes of mildew causing bad odor and making use of an appliance unsanitary, which can lead to serious health issues.

Dryer

Here are some facts according to the U.S. Fire Administration on fires caused by clothes dryers:

• 2,900 home clothes dryer fires are reported each year and cause an estimated 5 deaths, 100 injuries, and $35 million in property loss.
• Failure to clean the dryer (34 percent) is the leading cause of home clothes dryer fires.
• More home clothes dryer fires occur in the fall and winter months, peaking in January.
• Most of these home fires involved clothes dryers (92%).
• The leading cause (31%) of home clothes dryer and washer fires is failure to clean.
