Appliance Repair – Learn How
to Handle Things on Your Own!
• Get to Know more about Hoses
o Your washing machine, dishwasher, and a number of other appliances
depend heavily on hoses to use water correctly. In case of a leak, it is
important to check those hoses as well as any surrounding valves to
identify the problem. In most cases, you can get your appliance to run
again by re-sealing or replacing those parts that may be causing the
problem. It is also a good idea to replace hoses at regular intervals
because they tend to wear quickly.
• Learn to Check the Gaskets
o Any familiarity with gaskets and seals will help you correct many minor
repairs on your own. You will find them on your refrigerator and oven
doors. Your appliances will not work if the gasket or seals are damaged or
cracked. Check them and replace if required.
