Appliance Repair Myths You Should Stop Believing
There’s a lot of misinformation about appliance repair floating around, and believing the wrong advice can cost you money. Let’s bust some of the biggest myths and set the record straight.
Common Appliance Repair Myths
Myth #1: If an Appliance Still Runs, It Doesn’t Need Maintenance
Truth: Just because your fridge is still cooling or your washing machine still spins doesn’t mean it’s running efficiently. Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns before they happen.
Myth #2: Using More Detergent Gets Your Clothes Cleaner
Truth: Extra detergent can actually leave residue on clothes and damage your washing machine over time. Stick to the recommended amount.
Myth #3: You Should Always Repair Instead of Replace
Truth: While repairs can save money, some appliances are simply beyond saving. If the repair cost is more than half the price of a new unit, it’s usually better to replace it.
Understanding the truth about appliance repair can save you time, money, and frustration. The next time you hear a common piece of advice, double-check whether it’s actually helpful—or just a myth.
