Secrets to Avoid Appliances Breaking Down

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Thanks to LG for sponsoring the video. I'm not sure how to take a manufacturer sponsoring a video, but maybe they'll see the channel and realize how important it is to have longer-lasting appliances, right? My favorite LG Laundry as of today: LG Heat Pump Dryer: howl.link/2n3azlfk6hwfu (we did a teardown on this too!) Matching Washer: howl.link/1mq445tjyo40h LG WashTower: howl.link/nkat15qva11a9 (review coming soon!) LG Direct Drive Washer Under $600: howl.link/h508hd9se230e Other LG Deals: howl.link/stzywjv3iq5i7

[@RonHelton]

Quite the irony that LG is sponsoring this video on how to prevent appliances from breaking down. They never honored the warranty on my LG stainless fridge that I purchased with the linear compressor that DIED just after 2 years. Not buying another LG product after that!

When you talk about a sponsored product or brand, you are putting your reputation on the line, and become a paid endorser. You are now the agent of the appliance maker, not an independent reviewer... that is the appearance we get as a viewer.

I had an LG washer make it 9 years, and my LG dryer is now on year 14. Somehow. So they can make some pretty durable stuff occasionally.

My mother's dishwasher started developing this crusty white build up on all of its interior stainless surfaces. I discovered that it was because she was pre-rinsing (and in some cases even washing) her dishes and pots. The dishwasher detergent pod had no grease or food particles to break down, and it was causing build up and etching her dishwasher instead. What she thought was helping her dishwasher, was actually slowly corroding it away.

[@Ivan-ks1ix]

Yep, too much soap for load. My water is very soft, I found I need to put the wash tab only in the pre-rinse to get a better clean. Previously I was breaking the tab in half and split the tab between the pre-wash and wash cycles. This left the glassware with a weird dishwasher taste.

[@markliptak2796]

I purchased a Maytag washer and gas dryer in 1994. Perhaps this was near the end of the era of Maytag's heyday? They run 3 to 5 loads week in and week out. In that time, other than replacing the water supply lines every 10 years, I have not done a single thing to the washer! The dryer has had drum rollers replaced twice and a moisture sensor replaced once (all by me). I intend to run the pair as long as I can. They just don't make 'em like this anymore!

[@litrealred6840]

I highly recommend vacuuming the dryer vent and the tube running to the outside. Our laundry room has a long outside vent run and every 5 years I run a flexible vent brush through the tube. The amount of lint that comes out is frightening.

[@j.frankparnell6195]

Don't forget about that appliance in your garage or basement. The hot water heater. One tip that will prolong its life that most people don't even know exists is to replace the anode. It is a rod of aluminum or zinc that corrodes away so that the water tank does not. Replace it every 3-5 years, so that it can keep doing its job. If you have never done it, you will be amazed when you take it out for the first time, because it won't even be recognizable compared to a new one. Also drain the tank and cycle the water through it to the drain to clean out any sand residue that collects in it.

With regard to cleaning your refrigerator condenser coils, clean as much as you can with a brush and vacuum. And then, if you have a shop vac and don’t mind making a bit a mess, put the hose on the exhaust side and blow the rest of the crap out. I was floored at how much more I got out when I tried that recently. Happy DIY all 😉

I have a reminder on my phone to clean the drain pump on my washer every 3 months, and to run a cleaning cycle once a month with some tablets. Dishwasher gets a cleaning every 2 months with some Finish cleaning solution they make and clean the filter and rubber. I also clean all the rubbers on all my fridges and freezers with a solution and then rub them with sealant wax so they seal really well. I do that twice a year. Dryer I clean the vent spring and fall. Fridge I vacuum the front floor vents every couple of months

Most effective measure to avoid appliance breaking down is to use a 1800 joules (1.7BTU) Surge Protection Adapter for all modern Electronic controlled Appliances. My Centralised Gas heater blew Digital Control Board 3 times (during 1y Warranty period) until I used a 1800 joules (1.7BTU) Surge Protection Adapter. It has never broken down for over 15 years. My dishwasher, Washing machine and Microwave oven now all have Surge Protection Adapter at the power outlet. My old frig and convection oven are just just thermstat controlled - they do not need any Surge Protection adapter.

Ben, I had to chuckle when you started talking about microwaves. We have a microwave we use several times daily, an Emerson, that we bought when we did a kitchen remodel at another house in 2008. It came from Kohls, and I remember it was $70 some dollars. It has never had a single problem. It’s a .9 cu. Ft. model, touch screen, and not especially remarkable otherwise. But isn’t that amazing to get 16 years out of a $70 microwave? I think I’d buy the same brand again, if they still make them.😅😂

The information regarding the refrigerator is key. I had a roommate who bought a French door model and whoever installed it jammed it in the location so that you couldn’t even pull it out to clean the fan/vents. Long story short, it broke down within two years and she had a hard time getting the refrigerator out of the location. It was a nightmare.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Its scary how often we get fridges on trade-ins that have the combo of lint/dirt in the condenser AND its in a crowded space. Its why the old one went back, but is also so easy for us to fix & flip em too

[@Arizona-Sonoran-Desert-Guy]

I have a Speed Queen front-load washer and dryer. Some excellent tips for maintaining both include washing out the washing machine with a cleaning solution once a month or so and keeping the washer door open to prevent mold growth. I also realized that my '90s Metallica CDs (the epitome of mediocrity) could be used as sliders under the feet of the washer/dryer to prevent scuffing on the tile floor. Metallica CDs are also harmful to a microwave (not to mention people's ears, too).

To add surge protection to an appliance only requires a MOV (metal oxide varistor) circuit. These are very cheap and should be designed into any machine that cannot handle surges. Relying on a homeowner to provide surge protection is risky.

Hi Ben, big fan of your informative videos. Off topic, but a GE French door refrigerator was just delivered to my place today. I didn't notice the delivery guys leveling it, but I wasn't in the room the entire time. Might being unlevel cause issues? Thanks. Oh, and I bought a Gibson front loading washer and dryer in 1998. The washer died two years ago, but the dryer is still going. Neither ever needed repair, but I did have to replace the dryer's cycle knob, which I found online. Are you familiar with the brand?

Hi, I watch your channel a lot and see that you have a lot of knowledge. I would like your advice at the moment.

Hello Ben. I have some questions on a new GE Side by Side refrigerator model GSS25GYPGCFS. Upon initial hooking it up how long with settings at 0 degrees for freezer and 37 degrees for refigerator , refrig and freezer empty, should the fans be cycling and when should first defrost occur? Also there seems to be a delay of about 2 hours between the display temperature and the real temperature. I know this because when i check the temperature with a temperature laser gun at the vents inside they are sinificantly different than the display readings. Thanks in advance Ben. Have a good day. I appreciate your videos to.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Typically, fans shut off during defrosting. 2hrs of time between changing temps and it actually shifting the temps are normal. It has to cool the air down to actually change the temp, and that does take time for the machine to do it. Opening the doors up and letting the cold air out to check the temps with a gun is usually a great way to make it take a lot longer to cool down when there's nothing in the fridge. Refreigerators need items in themselves to store up heat mass (or lack of it) so the temps don't shift as much w/ doors open. So no mass + opening doors leads to much more rapid swings.

[@KurtisRader]

Almost all of the advice in this video is sensible. There was one recommendation I found impractical. That recommendation was cleaning the dryer ducting. Doing so requires moving the dryer, disconnecting the ducting, and cleaning it using a tool a homeowner is unlikely to own unless they remove the ducting and flush it with water. No homeowner is going to go to that effort. Heck, most homeowners don't even flush their water heater annually and doing that requires far less effort. Using rigid ducting is ideal but, again, impractical for most installations given the minimal clearances around the dryer when in its working location.

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

Flush it with water... what? You need a $25 brush set. That's it. Much cheaper than paying someone $150 to clean the ductwork for you, and cheaper than a service call as well.

[@LeetHaxington]

“Read the manual” The manual has like 50 pages about types of liquids to not submerge the microwave in. Would be great of everybody could just read the lord of the rings novel manual’s for every single device they own.

It’s just one tiny little extra bit of work

[@bensappliancesandjunk]

I've ready every manual for every appliance I've reviewed on my channel that is new. The maitenance sections are 3-4 pages at most. Often they contained tidbits I was never aware of for that specific device that saved me a lot of headaches when discussing the product on camera. The irony is that 20, 30, 40 years ago, appliances were far more expensive than today so people actually understood proper procedures to take care of them and, magically, they lasted way longer. Was that a coincidence? Absolutely not. Put down the remote and phone, read for about 30-60min a day. Various subjects. You'd be surprised how much more you can progress in life by doing that.
