No matter what kind of appliances you have, they all require proper care and maintenance to run their best. But what if you’re actually breaking them without even realizing it? Your dishwasher is a unique appliance that requires specialized care, and if you’re not careful you could be causing it unneeded stress. The appliance repair experts at Carolina Appliance Service in Matthews, NC, want you to get the most out of your dishwasher, so here are some things to avoid:

• Overloading: Like all appliances, your dishwasher is only designed to do so much. Avoid overloading it with too many dishes, as this will quickly burn out the motor and also cause your dishwasher to leak. Overloading your dishwasher also prevents it from spraying your dirty dishes evenly and cleaning them properly.
• Power Surges: Did you know running your dishwasher during a storm can do serious damage to it? If you’re running your dishwasher during a thunderstorm and a power surge occurs, it will create an electrical surge strong enough to completely destroy your dishwasher. To avoid this, it’s important you always use a surge protector for your dishwasher and all other appliances.
• Dirty Dishes: Loading your dishes into the dishwasher without properly rinsing them will clog its pumps and spray lines. Before loading your dishes into the appliance, be sure to give them a good rinse to remove any food particles.
