Maintenance Calendar
Dryer
Dryer lint build up is the leading cause of dryer failures and also makes your appliance work extra hard and use up more energy. Lint built up is also the leading cause of house fires.
Clean your dryer lint filter after every load of laundry.
Also, don't forget to clean your dryer vents. Use a special dryer vent brush, made especially to make this important task a lot easier. There are two lengths offered, a 10 foot version and a 20 foot version.
Both brushes work well for this dusty but important job.
Range/Stove/Oven
Clean up your oven and get it ready for the holidays!
Replace broken, worn out knobs and make your range look new again
Replace the interior light in your oven - get a new light bulb
Replace your old, stained boiler pan with a new, high quality pan
Clean your oven control panel with a non-abrasive cleanser or glass cleaner
Clean your drip pans or bowls with a household non-abrasive cleanser; if they cannot be cleaned, replace them with new drip pans
Dryer
If your dryer is not performing well, first check the vent for lint build up. Getting your unit to work at top form could be as easy as that.
Built up dryer lint is the leading cause of dryer failures. It often causes drying times to increase dramatically, thus using a lot more energy than is necessary. Lint build up is also responsible for thousands of house fires every year.
RepairClinic.com recommends using a dryer vent brush to remove lint build up in the vent that leads to the outside. There are two lengths to choose from - 10 ft. and 20 ft. dryer vent brushes. Both work well for this messy task.
White vinyl ducts no longer meet building codes and are highly flammable.
If your dryer vent is white vinyl, RepairClinic experts recommend that you replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid aluminum vent.
Washing Machine
To keep your washing machine in excellent shape, check water fill hoses for cracks, blisters, corroded fittings and leaks.
Cracks are a sign of aging and breakdown of the rubber. Blisters signal disintegration in the inner lining of the hose, which means the hose may burst at any moment. This can cause flooding and damage to your home.
Corroded fittings mean that the hose has leaked or is leaking now. If you don't replace the faulty hose, you may find the corroded fitting is virtually impossible to remove from the faucet because of rusting and decay.
Replace the hoses if they have any of these conditions. Washer water fill hoses generally need to be replaced every 3 to 5 years, regardless of whether there is a visible defect.
For even more peace of mind, use stainless steel fill hoses.
Make sure to check that your washer is level and sitting on a well-supported sub-floor. A leading cause of washer failure is a unit that bangs around unbalanced by multiple loads.
Check to be sure that no water is dripping into the washer when it is turned off. If water is dripping in, even just a little bit, it is a sign that the water inlet valve is defective. It should be replaced immediately.
Dehumidifier
· Check to see the humidistat is set correctly. If set too high (low humidity), the unit may run continuously, which is unnecessary. Try using a hygrometer to determine the correct setting for your humidistat.
· Clean your dehumidifier water container.
· Replace your dehumidifier filter. RepairClinic has several to choose from in dehumidifier accessories section.
Air Conditioner
· During the cooling season, clean the condenser coils on your window or through-the-wall air conditioner. Remove the entire cover of your unit to gain access to the coils. Watch out for wasp or bees nests inside the unit. The coils can be cleaned by blowing compressed air at them or by using a soft bristle brush to wipe the dirt off. While you have the unit open, be sure to clean any dirt or lint build up in the bottom of the air conditioner, and oil the motor if it is equipped with oil ports on the sides.
· Clean or replace the air conditioner filter. Depending on the air quality this may need to be done monthly throughout the cooling season. If you need to replace the filter, try electrostatic filter cut-to-fit material. The filter will fit most air conditioners.
How to keep your Kenmore refrigerator or freezer running trouble free all summer long:
Manual Defrost Refrigerator/Freezer
· On manual-defrost refrigerator/freezers, check for frost build up in the freezer. If frost has accumulated on the walls to a thickness of ½ an inch or more, remove all food, turn off the appliance and allow all the frost to melt. Then reset the thermostat and resume normal usage. Be sure not to use any utensils or tools to scrape off the frost, as it is very easy to puncture the evaporator and ruin the refrigerator.
Automatic Defrost Refrigerator/Freezer
· On self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers, clean the drain pan underneath the refrigerator that collects water. (Some are not accessible. Don't worry if you can't find yours.)
· Clean the refrigerator cooling fan and the condenser coils. The coils are underneath the refrigerator. They usually are black and look like a series of small tubes and "fins" connecting the tubes. Order a Refrigerator Condenser Brush to make the job easier.
· Check the door seals to be sure they are sealing properly against the frame of the refrigerator/freezer. If they are torn, or don't seal properly, the refrigerator or freezer may not cool properly. This problem is worse when the weather is warmer and more humid. Clean the gaskets and frame with warm soapy water so they don't stick to the frame.
· Inspect the back wall of the freezer for any frost build-up. It is not normal to have any frost on the back wall or floor of a self-defrosting appliance. The presence of frost is normally an indication that the self-defrosting system has a problem. See our troubleshooting guide for help with a defrosting problem.
