Appliance care

Small habits that stop expensive failures.

A practical maintenance page for washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and fridge freezers.

01

Laundry machines

Clean filters, leave doors open after use, avoid overloading, check hoses yearly and react early to new vibration or grinding noise.

02

Dishwashers

Clear filter baskets, inspect spray arms, use suitable salt/rinse aid where needed and do not ignore standing water.

03

Ovens and hobs

Watch for uneven heat, failing fan noise, loose controls and tripping. Do not repeatedly reset an appliance that trips electrics.

04

Fridge freezers

Keep vents clear, clean door seals, avoid blocking internal airflow and record temperature changes before food spoils.
