During the summer, your appliances work extra hard to regulate the ideal temperature it needs to do its job (like keeping your food cold or drying your clothes). As the weather warms up, now is the time to make sure your appliances can handle the heat!
Is the heat getting the best of your appliances? Here are a couple of key indicators:
- Water leaking inside of your fridge:
If there is water underneath your crisper drawer, your freezer’s defrost drain may be clogged. This water can contaminate your food and can lead to possible water leakage on your floor. Contact a Westside Appliance Repair technician to unclog this drain.
- Flakes in your ice:
Specks and flakes in your ice cubes is an indicator that you need to change your refrigerator’s water filter. Black flakes in your ice could indicate your ice maker itself is chipping into the ice.
- Clothes that are still wet after a full dryer cycle:
A common sign that your dryer is on its last leg is that the clothes are still significantly wet after being run in the dryer. Often, the dryer will work properly during the first 30 minutes of the dry cycle, but will then fail to continue heating throughout the rest of the cycle.
Lint and debris caught in your dryer vent could also be trapping in moisture and preventing your clothes from fully drying. If your dryer is not currently performing its best, schedule your annual dryer vent cleaning today!
- Your refrigerator is warm:
There’s nothing worse than opening your fridge on a hot day to find warm, spoiled food. This can happen even if the attached freezer unit is still working properly. Getting this problem fixed right away is the only way to prevent the spoiling of perishable items.
