Appliance Service Tips

Periodic appliance up-keep can increase the life of your appliances and improve operation.  Here are some appliance up-keep tips:

Ovens:  Don’t run the self-cleaning cycle within one week of a big dinner - ovens have a tendency to fail during or right after a self-cleaning cycle.

Dishwashers:  Run an empty dishwasher with a cup of white vinegar to eliminate odors and buildup.

Disposals:  Place a handful of ice cubes in the disposal. Add lemon, orange or lime peels and run disposal with cold water for 15 to 30 seconds. Continue to rinse with cold water.

Refrigerators:  Unplug your refrigerator and use a vacuum to remove any dust from the coils. This will help it run more efficiently and trim your utility bills.
