You wait until something breaks to think about your appliances. That approach costs you money. Five minutes of monthly maintenance prevents 80% of common appliance failures.

Monthly Checklist (5 Minutes Total)

Refrigerator (2 minutes)

Vacuum the condenser coils. Pull the fridge forward, vacuum the coils at the back or underneath. Dusty coils make the compressor run constantly.

Washing Machine (1 minute)

Leave the door open after each use. Clean the rubber door boot with a dry cloth. Run an empty hot cycle with vinegar once a month.

Dishwasher (1 minute)

Clean the filter (twist out, rinse, replace). Wipe the door seal. Check spray arm jets.

Oven (1 minute)

Wipe spills immediately. Don't let food burn onto the oven floor. Check the door seal for gaps.

What Happens When You Skip Monthly Maintenance

• Refrigerator: Compressor fails 2-3 years early (KSh 15,000-20,000 replacement)
• Washing machine: Mold in door boot (KSh 4,000-6,000 replacement)
• Dishwasher: Clogged filter leads to pump failure (KSh 5,000-8,000)
• Oven: Burnt-on food damages heating elements (KSh 3,000-5,000)

Mark Your Calendar

Set a recurring reminder on your phone: "Appliance maintenance" on the 1st of every month. Five minutes. That's it.

"I started doing monthly coil cleaning after Repair Ready showed me. My fridge is 12 years old and still runs like new. My neighbor's identical fridge died at 7 years." — George, Lavington
