Taking care of your appliances is essential to ensuring they function efficiently and last longer. Whether you’re trying to avoid costly repairs or simply want to get the most use out of your household appliances, regular maintenance is key. Below are some helpful maintenance tips you can follow to keep your appliances in top condition.
Weekly Appliance Maintenance Tips
Oven: Clean your oven to remove grease and food spills. The longer you wait, the more difficult it becomes to remove buildup. Keeping your oven clean ensures better performance and helps avoid unpleasant odors.
Dishwasher: Check the dishwasher filter for food particles or broken glass, and make sure it’s free of mold. A clean filter ensures your dishwasher operates efficiently and reduces the likelihood of clogs.
Refrigerator, Freezer, Washer, Dishwasher, and Dryer: Clean the door gaskets to prevent bacteria and mold growth. These areas can trap moisture, leading to unpleasant smells and reduced performance if not cleaned regularly.
Annual or Semi-Annual Appliance Maintenance Tips
For appliances that see heavy use, it’s important to perform more thorough maintenance a few times each year. Here are some tasks that should be on your checklist:
Washer: Run an empty cycle with a washing machine cleaner to clear out any leftover detergent residue or buildup. This helps keep your washer running smoothly.
Dryer: Check the dryer vents and remove accumulated lint from both the interior and external entry points. Lint buildup is a common cause of poor dryer performance and a fire hazard.
Refrigerator & Freezer: Clean the coils to ensure your refrigerator is running efficiently and doesn’t overheat. Cleaning the fridge’s interior is also important for hygiene and odor control.

Daily Maintenance for Your Appliances
In addition to weekly and annual maintenance, there are simple tasks you can do daily to keep your appliances working their best:
Dryer: Always remove lint from the dryer’s lint trap after each load. This will keep your dryer working efficiently and reduce the risk of a fire.
Washer & Dishwasher: Leave the door open to allow these appliances to dry out. This helps prevent mold and mildew from developing inside.
Washer Dispenser Drawer: After each wash, remove, rinse, and let dry the washer’s dispenser drawer. This prevents detergent buildup and ensures your washer works properly.
Stove: Clean up any spills around the stove burners immediately. If left unchecked, these spills can harden and become difficult to clean, potentially affecting burner performance.
Microwave: Wipe down the microwave regularly to remove food splatters and prevent odors.
