4 Preventative Measures For Your Kitchen Appliances

Docs Appliance • December 19, 2018

Your kitchen appliances are in constant use. From your refrigerator always keeping your food fresh and cold to your dishwasher taking some dirty dishes out of your way, your kitchen appliances are an important component to your household. If you are like most people, you depend on your kitchen appliances daily. Before your appliances stop working this holiday season, here are four preventative measures to keep your kitchen appliances running efficiently.

Refrigerator

One of the most important appliances to maintain in your kitchen is your refrigerator. Cleaning the condenser coils regularly can help prevent your refrigerator from overheating. Dust, grime, and debris often accumulate on the coils and can make your fridge work harder than it needs to. Keeping up with regular maintenance and small repair jobs will help your fridge last longer.

Stove and Oven

With the holidays rolling back around, it’s time to get your stove and oven ready for some extra use. While stovetops are often cleaned more regularly, ovens tend to get overlooked. Cleaning out any crumbs or stuck-on food debris from the inside of your oven can help keep it clean and prevent any unnecessary kitchen fires. To keep your stovetop looking nice, scrape off any burnt food bits and clean the surface with a glass cleaner. These preventative measures can help prevent any major stove repairs.

Dishwasher

Your dishwasher is like an extra pair of hands in the kitchen. It cleans and dries a whole load of dishes so that you don’t have to do it all by hand. One of the best preventative measures you can do for your dishwasher is to rinse food off before you put it in. When food is left on dirty dishes, it can get stuck in the crevices and moving parts of your dishwasher, causing bacteria to form. This can leave your dishes dirty and your dishwasher stinky. Just rinsing your dishes can keep your dishwasher working longer without the need for repair.

Microwave

Microwaves bring convenience to your household. They are what is needed to heat up left-overs, cook up a quick dinner, pop some popcorn, or any of the other of countless things that they can tackle. If you’re like most people, your microwave is being used multiple times a day. Regularly cleaning out food particles and stuck-on debris will help keep it running smoothly.

Kitchen appliances are an essential part of your household. Using some of these preventative tips for your most used kitchen appliances will help them last longer in between repairs. Next time your kitchen appliances need repair, contact the professionals at Doc’s Appliance Service.
