appliance repair and maintenance
You may notice major problems, such as clothes that remain damp after the dryer cycle or a dishwasher that takes too long to empty the trash. A repair might not make sense financially in some cases if you are looking at buying a washer and dryer that costs $1,000. It's better to buy a brand new appliance if the repair cost is less than 50% of the replacement price.
Before you start, unplug your appliances. This is crucial because water and electricity don't mix. Never place an electrical appliance near water. They should be turned off immediately when they spark. If you work with an appliance that is in direct contact with water, it is important to unplug it completely prior to plugging it back into the outlet. You should never touch an outlet while it is wet. This could cause electrocution.
