Dishwasher Maintenance
Every year more and more family’s are realising the benefits owning a dishwasher can have. More than one in five households already have an automatic dishwasher and most would suffer if it there dishwasher was to suddenly breakdown. Making sure that dishwashers are properly maintained and repaired by an expertly trained and reliable company ensures that homes are kept running smoothly.
Dishwasher work by taking in cold water and heating it to a temperature far higher than is possible for hand washing. This offers the most hygienic solution for cleaning dishes, without the labour. Like all appliances that heat water, dishwashers suffer from lime scale build up. This can cause the lime scale to build up around the heating element and act as an insulator making the element run much hotter than it should. This can result in premature breakdown if the problem is left untended for a long period of time. Lime scale build up can be resolved by simply using a lime scale remover once a month. If the element was to burn out, having it replaced properly by qualified technicians is key to sustaining the life of your appliance and preventing further complications, due to poor installation.
Easy steps can be taken be to prolong the life of a dishwasher and minimize the chance of a breakdown. Every week the main strainer should be rinsed and cleaned, the spray arms need to be checked for blocked holes. The rinse-aid and salt levels also need to be checked on a regular basis. Cleaning the inside of the machine one a month will remove any grease or lime scale deposits witch can cause problems if left too long. Special dishwasher cleaners can be used to protect against lime scale and remove detergent build up, these cleaners often leave a fresh smell, masking any odours that may be lingering inside the machine. Every six months the door seals should be checked for damage as well as hoses and nozzles. Once the condition of the dishwasher has been checked, the cleaning programme needs to be run using a proprietary cleaner. Any problems that may have occurred over the life of the dishwasher should be properly diagnosed by a trained technician.
Even the simplest steps, such as making sure dishes are scraped properly before adding them to the dishwasher can ensure that the machine continues to work properly and remains reliable for many years. Finding the right company, should anyone ever need dishwasher repairs or any other household appliance maintenance its key to ensuring peace of mind should anything ever break down.
