Washer & Dryer Care Tips
Keep your laundry appliances performing their best with these simple maintenance tips from Oceanside Appliance Service. A few small habits can make a big difference in efficiency, safety, and the life of your machines.
Essential Washer Maintenance
Inspect Hoses Regularly
Check water hoses every few months for cracks or leaks. Replace them every 3–5 years to prevent water damage and flooding in your home.
Run Cleaning Cycles
Detergent residue and lint build up inside your washer over time. Use a hot "Tub Clean" cycle with vinegar or washer cleaner once a month.
Check Balance & Stability
If your washer shakes or "walks" during cycles, it may not be level. Adjust the legs until it sits flat and stable on the floor.
Dryer Care Essentials
Clean Lint Filter After Every Load
Always remove lint from the dryer filter after each cycle. This simple step helps air flow better, shortens drying time, and significantly reduces fire risk.
Keep Dryer Vents Clear
Lint buildup inside the vent hose can block airflow and create dangerous conditions. Clean the dryer vent line at least once a year to improve drying speed and prevent overheating.

Pro Tip: Avoid overloading your machines. Too many clothes can stress the motor and suspension system. Load your washer and dryer about two-thirds full for the best results and longevity.
