Start with the essentials
Read the appliance manual for accessible cleaning and servicing tasks. Keep vents clear and avoid overloading equipment. Compare a repair quote with replacement costs, warranty coverage and the condition of the appliance.
What you can do
- Unplug appliances before permitted cleaning and keep electrical parts dry.
- Stop using equipment with burning smells, damaged cords or unusual overheating.
- Use a competent repairer and request a clear estimate and repair warranty.
Keep in mind
Do not bypass safety devices or open sealed electrical assemblies without appropriate training. Arrange responsible disposal when repair is unsafe.
