How Often Should You Service Your Appliances?

Most homeowners only call a technician when something breaks. But like cars, appliances last much longer with a yearly check-up.

Fridges: Vacuum the condenser coils twice a year and check the door seals. A 30-minute job that can add 5+ years to your fridge's life.

Washing machines: Run a maintenance wash at 90°C with no laundry once a month to clear detergent build-up.

Dishwashers: Clean the filter monthly and run a descaling cycle every 3 months.

Tumble dryers: Empty the lint filter after every load and have the vent cleaned annually.
