Dishwasher
Dishwasher cleaning issues?
First always run your water at the sink until it gets hot before starting your dishwasher. Your dishwasher needs to be 120 degrees to clean properly, and if your water heater is on the other side of the house the water may not be getting hot enough. Second, always use a rinse aid if using a powder or liquid detergent; without a rinse aid you will have streaks and spots. Third, if you have a disposal, turn it on for a few seconds before starting the dishwasher. Finally, if your dishes are still not clean give us a call because there is likely a problem with the dishwasher.

How An Oven Cooks?
Ovens do not cook your food by the direct heat of the bake elements but by the radiant heat from the hot oven cavity. That is why it is a must to wait 15 minutes after turning on your oven to get an even bake.

To test your oven set it for 350 degrees. Now using a metal oven temp gauge wait 25-30 min, this will give you an accurate reading of the temp of your oven. note: oven calibrations can only be done at 350 degrees.

Washer
How often should my washer fill hoses be replaced?
Rubber hoses should be replaced every 5 years. Stainless braided hoses ever 10 years.
Washer
Front load or Top load?
Front load washers use less water than standard top load washers are more gentle on your clothes. However, a new agitator-less top load washer is just as efficient on water usage and can be purchased in the same load capacities.
Washer
Washer does not drain?
If your washer fills but does not drain, you could have a problem with the door lock/safety switch or the drain pump. On some front load washer models, they have pump clean-out located on the front of the washer. It will look like a square cover that can be removed and has a clean-out that can be unscrewed behind it. Be aware if the clean-out is removed, all the water in the washer will drain quickly, so be ready, a shop-vac works great.
