Every month, two minutes
Clean the dryer lint filter after every load, check the fridge door seal for gaps, and rinse the dishwasher filter. These three habits prevent a large share of breakdown calls.
Every year, a proper check
Clean fridge coils, inspect washer hoses for softness or bulging, check the dryer vent path, and test fridge and freezer temperatures with a thermometer.
Repair or replace: a simple rule
Under about 10 years with one failed part, repair usually wins. Over 12 years with repeated faults, compare the repair price against a new unit, including how much energy the old one uses. Our cost guide walks through the factors.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I service appliances?
Once a year is a good rule for fridges, washers, and dryers, and dishwashers can be checked at the same visit.
What hoses should I worry about?
Washer hoses, first. A burst washer hose floods a laundry room fast. Replace hoses that are soft, bulging, or cracked.
Does maintenance really prevent breakdowns?
It lowers the odds and catches small faults early. It cannot promise zero breakdowns, and anyone who promises that is overselling.
Can I do it all myself?
The monthly habits, yes. Coil cleaning, vent checks, and electrical testing are safer and more thorough with a tech.
