At 6.2 cubic feet, Maytag’s newest washer is one of the biggest residential washing machines you can buy.  How does it perform, though?  Here’s a review from cnet.com that shows maybe bigger is better, at least for some families and those of us that like to stuff comforters into our normal size washers…

Last week Samsung announced it is recalling almost 3 million washing machines that could cause injury to users when used during certain circumstances.  So what to do if you have a Samsung washer that might be part of the recall?

-Call Samsung at 866-264-5636, 8am-10pm ET.  Or, go to Samsung’s website for more information.  Make sure you have your serial and model number available.

-Run your washing machine at lower speeds.  Use the delicate or waterproof cycle especially for bulky/heavy items.

Cleaning your lint trap with each cycle helps maintain the efficiency of your dryer, but cleaning the inside of the dryer and ducts is a must to maintain the efficiency and safety of your appliance.  When your dryer is not properly maintained it can cause longer drying times, overheating, and possibly a fire in your home.  If you haven’t maintained your dryer properly in the last year, give us a call to set up an appointment with a technician to have your dryer deep cleaned and inspected.
