Extending Appliance Life: Maintenance Tasks You're Probably Skipping

Did you know that the average American household replaces their major appliances every 10-15 years, yet most of these machines are designed to last 20 years or more? The culprit isn't faulty manufacturing—it's neglected maintenance. We're all guilty of it: running our dishwashers until they sputter, ignoring our dryers until they take three cycles to dry a single load, and pretending that strange refrigerator noise will magically disappear on its own. But here's the truth: spending just a few minutes each month on simple maintenance tasks can literally double the lifespan of your appliances, saving you thousands of dollars in premature replacements.
