Sunday Appliance Maintenance: 5 Quick Checks That Save Money

Sunday is the perfect day for quick appliance maintenance! Here are 5 simple checks you can do in 10 minutes that will extend your appliance life and prevent costly repairs:

1. Check Your Refrigerator Coils – Vacuum the coils behind or under your fridge. Dusty coils make your fridge work harder, using more energy.

2. Inspect Washing Machine Hoses – Look for cracks, bulges, or leaks. Replace hoses every 5 years or sooner if damaged.

3. Clean Your Dryer Vent – A clogged vent is a fire hazard! Disconnect the hose and remove lint buildup.

4. Test Your Dishwasher Drain – Run a cup of white vinegar through an empty cycle to clean the drain and remove odors.

5. Check Oven Seals – Close the oven door on a piece of paper – if it pulls out easily, your seal needs replacing.
