| Washer:
Use
a zippered mesh bag for small items like socks. We routinely remove
these items from water pumps. Underwires from bras are also problematic.
Check
your inlet hoses for rust and their filter screens for debris
obstructing water flow. This is a common problem due to the sandy soil
of South New Jersey.
Dryer:
Keep
your lint filter clean and in place during use. Routinely check the
amount of air at the exhaust of the venting outside the house,
Range:
Dishwasher:
Never
use hand washing soap in an automatic dishwasher, we recommend powdered
detergent, and a minimum incoming water temperature of 120 degrees F.
Clean
a dirty dishwasher with Tang! Yes, TANG, the orange drink mix the
astronuats (used to?) drink is high in acid content (vitamin C) and
will clean and refresh a nasty looking plastic tub. With the dishwasher
empty (NO GLASS!) fill your normal detergent cups and run through a
normal cycle, That's it.
Refrigerator:
Vaccum
the coils at the bottom or back of your unit every six months. Keep the
gaskets around the doors clean. Sticky spills will glue the gasket to
the cabinet and tear upon opening, causing condensation problems in the
unit.
