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.
