Remember: These tips are general in nature but can help you in preventative maintenance that extends the life of your appliance.
I have a self-defrosting refrigerator so does that mean I don't need to worry about
maintaining it?
Self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers have a defrost heater that heats up every 6 to 8 hours to melt any frost accumulation on the coils and drain resulting water into a shallow pan at the bottom of the refrigerator/freezer. It's important to check this pan and periodically see if it needs to be cleaned if the pan is removable. This will help you avoid mold. It's also important to check the set of coils and a cooling fan under your appliance and clean these at least once a year. You can call upon Dependable Refrigeration, LLC. to help you clean any dirt or pet hair that can accumulate on the coils.

What can I do to keep my dishwasher in top working condition?
Most cleaning problems are caused by the dishwasher not getting enough wash water, so call upon Dependable Refrigeration, LLC. to help maintain the water-inlet valve. A defective water-inlet valve will need to be replaced. However you can help extend the life of your dishwasher with a few simple tips. Twice a year, lift out the strainer and scrub with warm, soapy water. You also can help dissolve mineral deposits and soap residue by placing a small container filled with one cup of distilled white vinegar on both the top and bottom racks, then run a regular wash cycle. Remember to always plug your dishwasher into a grounded outlet and do not use an extension cord. Talk with Dependable Refrigeration, LLC. customer service to help arrange for a service agreement that will extend the life of your valuable appliances!
My washing machine doesn't seem to be cleaning as it once did.
Remember these tips to help improve your washing machine performance: Do not use the top of your washer when spraying stain removers onto garments because this can corrode the painted surface of your unit. The washer water filters must be changed annually to help the flow of water to your washer. You also should check at this time that water supply hoses are OK and not bent. Dependable Refrigeration, LLC. can help you replace these and the drain hoses if there are problems with creases that restrict water flow.
How often do I need to clean my oven?
The interior of your oven needs to be cleaned regularly. Always keep burners free of dirt and debris. Clean the metal of your range hoods with sudsy water and do not use an abrasive pad or you will scratch the finish. Remember also to clean microwave oven removable glass shelves regularly because food residue keeps reheating and can cause shelf breakage. If your oven is self-cleaning use that system or have it checked by Dependable Refrigeration, LLC..
How do I make sure I don't overload my washer/dryer?
A quick tip — avoid straining the machine by separating your heavy items such as towels and jeans and spreading out the washes over two loads. Any simple maintenance tips for my dryer? Clean dryer lint filter before each load. The exhaust vent system also needs to be cleaned at least once a year and make sure it vents outside the house.
