Seasonal changes can affect how often household appliances run and how much demand is placed on them. A winter-preparation routine can help identify problems before holiday cooking, laundry, and indoor activity increase.
Check Refrigerators and Freezers
Clean accessible condenser areas according to the manufacturer’s instructions, inspect door seals, and listen for unusual fan or compressor noises.
Prepare Ovens and Ranges
Test preheating, burner operation, ignition, and temperature consistency before holiday cooking begins.
Inspect Washers and Dryers
Check washer hoses for leaks or bulges and clean the dryer lint screen after every load. Make sure the dryer exhaust system is not restricted.
Give the Dishwasher a Checkup
Clean the filter if your model has a serviceable filter, inspect spray arms, and watch for slow draining or leaks.
Address Problems Before Peak Season
Appliances often receive heavier use around the holidays. Repairing a developing issue before peak demand can reduce the risk of an inconvenient breakdown.
