Mistakes You’re Doing to Your Home Appliances
>> May 29, 2017
Buying the best appliances doesn’t immediately
guarantee that they will last for a long time. There are a lot of common mistakes
that people do that shorten the lifespan of their equipment. Here are some of
them and their effects:
Washing
Machines
-
Placing heavy objects and standing on it as well as
washing clothes with objects in their pockets will damage the unit
-
Using hand-washing detergents instead of washing machine detergents will create
too much foam which will break the unit
-
Not cleaning the rubber parts and dispenser of the
machine encourages mould to grow inside.
-
Not removing finished loads right away damages the
drum.
-
Not performing cleaning cycles or using the
automatic cleaning cycle function causes grime to form inside.
Refrigerators
-
Not making sure that the refrigerator stays upright
during the delivery or turning it on less than 15 hours from the time of
arrival will make the compressor oil leak.
-
Placing it too near a wall will make the coils
dirty which will reduce its effieciency
-
Not defrosting it twice a year deteriorates the
interiors.

properly inside
Slow
Cookers

Using it while the outside walls of the pans are
wet or leaving the inside of the lid wet after usage will break the unit.

the unit.
Dishwashers
-
Positioning dishes right-side up is an inefficient
way to use it.
-
Putting unclean plates inside and not removing
stickers on dishes and cups will clog the filters.
-
Using the washer while the dishes inside are
touching each other will hinder the rotations of the water sprinkler.
-
Using dish washing liquids instead of powders and
tablets causes malfunctions.
-
Not making sure that small objects are placed in
the unit properly leads to them to scatter which could block its rotation
parts.
-
Not putting salt and rinser in the dispenser tray
prevents a long life for the unit.
-
Not cleaning the filters makes the unit struggle.
Microwaves
-
Not putting a class of water inside while heating
lightweight consumables allows more microwave radiation.
-

the unit inefficient.

Using the microwave while it is empty damages the
magnetron.
-
Placing items above the maximum weight capacity
inside will damage the interiors.
-

cause hazardous events.

-
Not cleaning the inside from crumbs once a week
causes mould.
Blenders

Blending hot food will break the unit.
-
Not keeping the motor housing dry could cause a
short circuit.
-
Leaving a submersible blender plugged in when not
in use causes overheating.

directly damage the blades.
Although you use these items every day and they
feel like tanks, not maintaining them well could shorten their lifespans and
even cause hazards at your home. Be safe and smart and don’t make these
mistakes.
