Maintenance Tips for Your Refrigerator

Posted on by

A reliable refrigerator is the heart of your kitchen, but because it runs 24/7, it needs a little routine care to stay efficient and keep your food fresh. At ABC Appliances & Services, we want your used appliances to last, so we’ve gathered a few tips to help you maintain your fridge like a pro.

The most important rule for efficiency is to keep the coils clean. Over time, dust and pet hair can build up on the condenser coils (usually located at the bottom or back), forcing the motor to work twice as hard. A quick vacuum or brush-off every six months can significantly extend the life of your compressor. Also, pay attention to the door seals. A dirty or cracked gasket lets cold air escape, which wastes energy. A simple “dollar bill test” closing the door on a dollar and seeing if it stays snug will tell you if your seals are still airtight.

When it comes to the interior, airflow is key. It’s tempting to stock up, but overstuffing your fridge can block the vents and cause uneven cooling. Try to keep it about three-quarters full so the cold air can circulate freely. For cleaning, always wipe up spills immediately to prevent odors from soaking into the plastic. A mixture of baking soda and warm water is the best way to scrub the inside without using harsh chemicals that could affect your food.

By following these simple steps, you’ll keep your energy bills low and your food fresh. If you’re ready to upgrade your kitchen or need a quality used fridge, come visit us at 8704 N Nebraska Ave, Tampa, Florida 33604 or call us at 813-900-7823.

Simple Tips to Keep Your Glass Top Stove Looking Good

Posted on by

A glass top stove looks sleek and modern in any kitchen, but it does require a little bit of special care to keep it from getting scratched or stained. At ABC Appliances & Services, we want your kitchen to look amazing, so we’ve put together a few easy tips to help you maintain your smooth-top range.

The most important rule is to avoid sliding your pots and pans. Even if the bottom of your pan feels smooth, sliding it across the glass can cause tiny scratches over time. Always lift your cookware when moving it from one burner to another. Also, try to use pots with flat bottoms; this ensures the heat is even and prevents the glass from overheating in one specific spot.

When it comes to cleaning, wait for the stove to cool down completely before wiping it. Using a wet sponge on a hot glass surface can actually cause the glass to crack! For daily cleaning, a simple mix of water and vinegar works great. For tougher, burnt-on food, use a cleaner specifically made for glass tops and a soft cloth. Avoid using steel wool or abrasive sponges, as these will dull the shine of the glass.

By following these simple steps, your stove will stay shiny and work perfectly for years to come. If you’re looking to upgrade your kitchen or need a reliable replacement, come visit us in 8704 N Nebraska Ave Tampa Florida 33604 or contact us at 813-900-7823. We have great deals on glass top stoves and used appliances!

How to Keep Your Home Appliances Running Like New

Posted on by

Buying high-quality used appliances from ABC Appliances & Services is a great way to get premium brands at a fraction of the cost. However, once you get your fridge, washer, or dryer a little bit of care goes a long way. We want to share a few easy secrets to help your used machines last.

First, let’s talk about your laundry room. Many people try to save time by stuffing the washing machine to the top, but this actually hurts the motor and doesn’t get your clothes as clean. Try to fill it only about three-quarters of the way. For your dryer, cleaning the lint trap after every load is a must, but once a year, you should also check the vent hose in the back to make sure there is no dust buildup. This keeps your home safe and lowers your monthly power bill.

In the kitchen, your refrigerator is the hardest worker in the house. To keep it happy, try to vacuum the coils (the black bars or grid) at the bottom or back of the unit every few months. When dust builds up there, the fridge has to work twice as hard to stay cold. By following these small, simple steps, you can save hundreds of dollars in the long run.

If you ever have questions or are looking to upgrade your home, stop by and see us here in 8704 N Nebraska Ave Tampa Florida 33604. We make it easy to find reliable appliances at prices that fit your budget!
