Appliance tips

Dishwasher

Dishes aren’t getting clean?

• Run white vinegar through one or more cycles to clean soap build-up
• Decrease the amount of detergent used
• Is hot water heater temperature set correctly?

Others

Refrigerator

• Keep condenser coils clean
• Allow 1-2 inches of space around cabinet for proper ventilation
• Make sure door gaskets seal properly to avoid excessive run times

Icemaker

• If not making ice, make sure “arm” is in the proper position. It can get bumped easily when taking things in or out of the freezer.
• Change filter every 6-12 months

Plumbing

• If plumbing is clogged, try using a plunger to release the clog

Garbage disposal

• If garbage disposal does not work, try pressing the reset button on the bottom or side of the disposal

Dryer

• If dryer is too hot, make sure vent hose is not compressed up against the wall behind dryer, or vent may need to be cleaned (call for quote).
• Try not to slam the dryer door or let it slam shut, as this may damage the door switch and the machine will not run.

Washer

• Washer lids are very susceptible to breaking. Try to keep from dropping or slamming the lid to avoid damaging the lid switch.
