Maintenance Calendar
February 2011
Washing Machine
Good maintenance of your home appliances can save you from unexpected and undesired disasters. One of the most common reasons for basement flooding, are burst washer fill hoses.
Rubber hoses age quickly, crack, blister and leak. If the hose lining ruptures, the water can easily flood your basement and cause a lot of financial and structural damage.
Check your washier fill hoses for signs of wear and tear. For best results, replace the rubber hoses with stainless steel versions.

Dryer
The leading cause of dryer failures is lint build up in your dryer vent. Lint build up also causes drying times to increase dramatically and is responsible for thousands of house fires each year.
It is easy to solve this problem - use a dryer vent brush to remove lint build up in the vent that leads to the outside. RepairClinic offers 10 ft. and 20 ft. dryer vent brushes, both of which work well for this messy task.
If your dryer vent is white vinyl, RepairClinic experts recommend that you replace it with a rigid or semi-rigid aluminum vent. White vinyl ducts are highly flammable and no longer meet building codes.
Washing Machine
Check your washing machine water fill hoses for any damage: cracks, blisters, corroded fittings, leaks, etc.
Damage is a sign of aging and a breakdown of the rubber material. Blisters signal rupture in the inner lining of the hose, which presents danger that the hose may burst at any time. Corroded fittings mean that the hose has leaked or is presently leaking. If you do not replace the hose right away, you may find, due to rusting, that the corroded fittings are virtually impossible to remove later.
Replace the hoses if they have any of these weaknesses. In general, washer water fill hoses generally need to be replaced every three to five years, regardless of whether there is a visible defect.
For best results and peace of mind, use stainless steel fill hoses.
Check to make sure that your washer is level and sitting on a well-supported sub-floor. A leading cause of washing machine failure (and of customer complaints) is a unit that bangs around unbalanced after many loads.
It is also important to check and make sure that no water is dripping into the washer when it's turned off. If water is dripping in, even a little, it is a sign that the water inlet valve is defective and it should be replaced immediately.

Maintenance Tips
Keep your dehumidifier and air conditioner in good shape during the hottest part of the summer:
Dehumidifier
· Check to see the humidistat is set correctly. If set too high (low humidity), the unit may run continuously, which is unnecessary. Try using a hygrometer to determine the correct setting for your humidistat.
· Clean your dehumidifier water container.
· Replace your dehumidifier filter. RepairClinic has several to choose from in dehumidifier accessories section.
Air Conditioner
· During the cooling season, clean the condenser coils on your window or through-the-wall air conditioner. Remove the entire cover of your unit to gain access to the coils. Watch out for wasp or bees nests inside the unit. The coils can be cleaned by blowing compressed air at them or by using a soft bristle brush to wipe the dirt off. While you have the unit open, be sure to clean any dirt or lint build up in the bottom of the air conditioner, and oil the motor if it is equipped with oil ports on the sides.
· Clean or replace the air conditioner filter. Depending on the air quality this may need to be done monthly throughout the cooling season. If you need to replace the filter, try electrostatic filter cut-to-fit material. The filter will fit most air conditioners.

Maintenance Tips - How to keep your Maytag refrigerator or freezer running trouble free all summer long:
Manual Defrost Refrigerator/Freezer
· On manual-defrost refrigerator/freezers, check for frost build up in the freezer. If frost has accumulated on the walls to a thickness of ½ an inch or more, remove all food, turn off the appliance and allow all the frost to melt. Then reset the thermostat and resume normal usage. Be sure not to use any utensils or tools to scrape off the frost, as it is very easy to puncture the evaporator and ruin the refrigerator.
Automatic Defrost Refrigerator/Freezer
· On self-defrosting refrigerator/freezers, clean the drain pan underneath the refrigerator that collects water. (Some are not accessible. Don't worry if you can't find yours.)
· Clean the refrigerator cooling fan and the condenser coils. The coils are underneath the refrigerator. They usually are black and look like a series of small tubes and "fins" connecting the tubes. Order a Refrigerator Condenser Brush to make the job easier.
· Check the door seals to be sure they are sealing properly against the frame of the refrigerator/freezer. If they are torn, or don't seal properly, the refrigerator or freezer may not cool properly. This problem is worse when the weather is warmer and more humid. Clean the gaskets and frame with warm soapy water so they don't stick to the frame.
· Inspect the back wall of the freezer for any frost build-up. It is not normal to have any frost on the back wall or floor of a self-defrosting appliance. The presence of frost is normally an indication that the self-defrosting system has a problem. See our troubleshooting guide for help with a defrosting problem.
