Five Maintenance Tasks Most Homeowners Overlook
Dryer vent — Clean annually with a $25 brush kit. Skipping this causes fires and blown thermal fuses.
Fridge condenser coils — Behind the front grille. Vacuum with brush attachment, 10 minutes, every 6-12 months.
Dishwasher filter — Twists out from the bottom of the tub. Rinse monthly. Most homeowners have never touched it.
Washer door gasket — Leave the door ajar after every load. Wipe the folds monthly. Mold prevention, not mold treatment.
Range hood filter — Dishwasher-safe aluminum mesh. Clean every 3 months if you cook often.
