The Appliances That Break Down the Most (And How to Avoid It)

Some appliances break down more frequently than others due to constant use, design flaws, or common user mistakes. In this post, we’ll look at the most repair-prone appliances and how you can avoid unexpected breakdowns.

Most Commonly Repaired Appliances

1. Washing Machines

Issue: Overloading, clogged hoses, and unbalanced loads cause wear and tear.
Prevention: Wash smaller loads and clean the drain pump regularly.

2. Refrigerators

Issue: Dirty condenser coils make the fridge work harder, leading to compressor failure.
Prevention: Vacuum coils every 6 months and keep the door seals tight.

3. Dishwashers

Issue: Food particles clog the drain, leading to leaks and drainage problems.
Prevention: Rinse dishes before loading and clean the filter regularly.

A little preventive care can keep these high-maintenance appliances running longer. Regular cleaning and proper use can help you avoid costly repairs.
