Basic maintenance and good usage habits can prolong the service life and improve the energy

efficiency of home appliances. A seasonal approach to care and maintenance is even better,

especially for areas with extreme seasonal variations. In Utah, summers can be extremely hot

and humid. Homeowners can go through these care and maintenance tips to protect their

appliances during the summer.

Correct Usage Habits

Appliances need extra TLC to

stay in good condition for years

to come. Homeowners should

carefully read user manuals to

have a clear visual of how to

properly use an appliance. Many

homeowners tend to overuse or

overload major kitchen

appliances, such as refrigerators,

washing machines, and

dishwashers.

They should understand that like people, appliances could grow weary too when subjected to too

much burden. Some people exceed the load limit because they believe it’s more efficient and

economical, but it’s only exhausting the machine and increasing hazard risks. Another habit

people should avoid is excessively and carelessly opening and closing appliance doors and

drawers. Loose hinges and gaskets lessen the performance and energy efficiency of the appliance.

Summertime Maintenance and Care

In the summer, homeowners may adjust the thermostat of certain appliances, such as air

conditioners, freezers, and refrigerators. They should consult the user manual for the ideal

temperature to make sure the appliance can handle it. To increase the energy efficiency of a

freezer or fridge, it should be full but not too full, so the machine does not exert too much effort

cooling or freezing food items.

Homeowners should also clean their

appliances several times during the summer.

Because hot summers increase the need for

freezing and cooling, grime will build up

quickly. Homeowners should clean spills

and gunk right away, especially in

microwaves and ovens, to reduce fire risks.

Regularly cleaning condenser coils and door

gaskets will suppress warm, moist air into

entering, thus increasing the appliance’s

energy efficiency.

The harder freezers and fridges have to work to stay cool; the bigger the probability that they will

break. Summer is the time when homeowners need to “pamper” their appliances more intensely

and frequently so the items would last throughout the season and longer.
