Appliance Maintenance” is a clear, realistic how-to guide that helps you protect three key household machines: washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Each chapter works like a compact shop manual, using short, direct instructions suited for voice-read or hands-free listening.
Readers begin with the washer — learning how to clear inlet screens, clean drain filters, and run maintenance cycles to stop leaks and odors before they start. The second chapter takes on dryer safety, walking through full vent cleaning, belt checks, and airflow testing to improve performance and prevent fires. The final chapter focuses on the refrigerator, showing how to clean condenser coils, clear the defrost drain, and test gaskets for a tight seal.
Every task includes safety reminders, tool lists, and ways to confirm the job was done right. The series emphasizes preventative habits over costly repairs — short tasks done on schedule that add years of life to each appliance. Whether you’re a homeowner, renter, or DIY learner, this field manual teaches confidence in keeping your machines efficient, safe, and dependable.
