Basic Rules Before Starting Appliance Repair

Most of us refuse to call for local appliance repair right away. We always want to troubleshoot the machine ourselves, which can be a smart idea. Why spend money on home appliance repair just to find out something was clogging a vent? But before you attempt to diagnosis the problem yourself, keep these simple rules in mind:

• Always disconnect any electric or gas power from the appliance before you start doing any work. This is, without a doubt, the most important rule. If and when you need to turn the power back on to test any repairs, do not touch the appliance. Simply turn the power back on.
  

• Appliances held together by bolts, screw, plugs, and fasteners can be easily detached to replace parts. But if the parts are held together by rivets or welds, a professional will need to replace them.
  

• If parts need replacing, it’s cheaper to purchase and install them yourself. However, don’t choose the wrong model number. If you cannot install the part yourself, you can at least purchase it on your own and have a trained professional install it for you.
