General Rules of Maintaining Electrical Appliances

Electrical appliances in your home are made to make your life easier. We all know that our appliances, no matter how much good care we take of them, may occasionally break down. One problem faced with broken appliances is in terms of finding replacement parts. But now you can do quick search on internet simply by typing your appliance’s brand, for example if you have Kenmore appliance, you can type “Kenmore Parts”.

But it’s better to maintain your appliancess before they get broken. To make them in good working order keep them clean and properly oiled. Some have sealed motors and never need oiling, but failure to oil the ones that need lubrication sends many a helpful gadget back to the manufacturer for repairs. Use the type of oil specified in your instruction booklet and the proper amount. Too much is often as bad as too little. If you have lost your instructions write for new ones or consult your local dealer.

These are general rules that apply to all electric equipment :

1. Never attempt to clean any electrical appliance without first disconnecting it.

2. Disconnect all cooking appliances promptly when their work is done so that food and grease won’t burn hard on the surface.

3. While some electrical appliances are now being advertised as “immersible” never put any electrical appliance into water to wash it, unless the manufacturer specifically states that this can be done.

You have to remember that motor-driven equipment including vacuum cleaners, sewing machines, mixers, and home freezers should never be stored in a place where the temperature goes lower than 40 F. Cold starting strains the motor and sometimes causes undue wear. If your appliance has been stored in a cold place, let it warm up at room temperature for several hours before you start the motor. This will give the oil or grease, used as a lubricant, a chance to warm so that it can do its work properly. So it is very much important to keep the electrical appliances clean and properly oiled.
