Buying new kitchen appliances is expensive. A new refrigerator can cost thousands of dollars, and so can a new stove. The truth is, it’s not always necessary to buy a new appliance. Instead, Carolina Appliance Service in Matthews, NC, has been offering free and easy fixes for your appliances since 1993. They provide preventative maintenance to keep your appliances working properly and help make them last to their full potential so you can save money. Today, they'd like to share a few quick and easy safety checks for your appliances:

  • Refrigerator: Before you call in for refrigerator repair, try performing these three steps of maintenance to optimize your appliance’s performance. First, inspect the doors regularly and replace damaged gaskets that might compromise the seal. If your fridge leaks cold air, the motor has to work double time. Next, call Carolina Appliance Service to regularly clean the condenser coils in order to remove dust, dirt, and pet hair. Clean coils mean easier work for the compressor. Finally, make sure your fridge is level, both side-to-side and front-to-back. A tilted appliance can strain your motor and increase condensation.
  • Dishwasher: To keep your dishwasher in tip-top condition, make a note on your calendar to regularly call Carolina Appliance Service to inspect the appliance’s gaskets for cracks and deterioration. A bad seal can cause leaks and other issues, and it’s a small price to fix. You should also check your sprayer arms, screens, and filters to ensure there are no clogs.
  • Stove: To avoid needing stove repair, you should make it a goal to keep your stove clean. Start by wiping down the control panel without using too much water. It’s also just as important to remove spills and drips right as they happen so that grease and food particles don’t build up, which can lead to a fire hazard.

At the end of the day, the best thing you can do is schedule Carolina Appliance Service to come out to your home for regular appliance repair and maintenance. They’ll make sure you always stay in top running condition. Give them a call today at (704) 847-0004 or visit them online for a full list of services.
