2 More Tips ~~~ How to Help Your Appliances Last Longer

$$$$$$$ Hi Folks $$$$$$$ Dryers That Keep on Drying ~~ In addition to regularly cleaning out your dryer’s lint trap and exhaust hose, inspect the exterior vent — hot air must escape your house unimpeded. Make sure the hinged exterior vent pops open when the dryer runs. If it doesn’t, open the cover and scrape out lint with the end of a hanger or dryer vent brush ($13). If your vent is louvered, clean slats with an old toothbrush. Dishwasher Extenders ~~ Here are ways to keep your dishwasher stress-free and long-lasting: • Prime your dishwasher by running the hot water in your sink before you begin the cycle. This will clean your dishes with hot water from the very start of the cycle. • Once a week, run your dishwasher empty except for a cup of vinegar, which will keep it shining and smelling fresh. • Clean out food traps regularly. • Wipe clean the seals around dishwasher doors.
