Printable appliance maintenance checklists

Simple, user-accessible maintenance tasks that can reduce avoidable faults and make troubleshooting easier.

Washer maintenance

Inspect inlet hoses for bulges, cracking or leaks. Clean user-accessible dispenser areas. Clean the drain/pump filter if the manual specifies one. Run the manufacturer-recommended tub/drum-clean cycle. Keep the door gasket clean and allow ventilation after use.

Dryer maintenance

Clean the lint filter every load. Inspect the exhaust path for restriction. Keep the area around the dryer clear of lint and combustibles. Check the power cord/plug for visible damage. Stop use for burning smells or abnormal overheating.

Dishwasher maintenance

Clean the filter on the recommended schedule. Inspect door seals and the lower door edge for debris. Keep spray-arm holes clear. Check under the sink for visible hose leaks. Use dishwasher detergent, not hand-washing liquid.

Refrigerator maintenance

Keep ventilation gaps clear. Clean accessible condenser areas if the manual recommends it. Check door seals for damage and debris. Keep interior air vents unobstructed. Investigate repeated temperature alarms promptly.

Oven maintenance

Keep controls and door seals clean and dry. Do not line vents with foil. Check that racks and cookware do not obstruct airflow. Stop use for arcing, burning wiring smells or uncontrolled heating. Follow model guidance for self-clean cycles.
