When your washing machine doesn’t spin, it may be causing your clothes to remain soaking wet or for your items to not be cleaned properly. However, this might not necessarily mean you have to get an expensive repair service to fix it.

Here are some troubleshooting tips that you can try before calling an appliance repair technician:

• Jammed clothes: Check to make sure that there are no clothes jammed in the drum and that the load is balanced correctly. 
• Lid switch: There should be a tab on the lid that slots into a lid switch when the lid is lowered or shut. If the tab is broken, or the switch doesn’t click when you test it, it will prevent your washer from spinning. This piece may need to be replaced.
• Drive belt: The machine’s drive belt may be loose, broken, or worn down. You can replace this belt or tighten it down yourself without contacting a repairman.
• Control panel issues: If the washing machine isn’t spinning and also doesn’t seem to respond to any buttons being pressed, there might be a problem with the controls themselves. This would require repair service.

Though you might not consider the organization of your fridge important, it most certainly is. Temperature and humidity levels vary throughout the inside of your refrigerator. Therefore, choosing the proper organization for your food can help reduce food waste and keep food from spoiling prematurely.

Here’s a quick run-down of which foods should go where: 

• Door: The items on the door are going to be exposed to warmer temperatures more often. As such, you should keep sensitive items like milk and eggs off of the door. Instead, put your beverages, condiments, butter, and refrigerated cooking oils here.
• Deli drawer: Some refrigerators will have an option to adjust the temperature in this drawer. Mostly, it’s a good idea to use this drawer for cheeses, deli meats, and items like hot dogs.
• Crisper drawer: This drawer is designed for produce and often has a humidity slider. Wilting vegetables like leafy greens, green onions, and carrots will do well at higher humidity. Mushrooms, fruits, peppers, and ripe fruits and vegetables do better in lower humidity environments.
• Lower shelves: Here, the air is coldest. It’s great for milk, raw meats, fish, and eggs.
• Upper shelves: The top shelf often gets warmer as heat rises. Use these shelves to store leftovers, peanut butter, snacks, and jams. 

Of course, there are a few things that should never be put in the refrigerator. Commonly, people make this error with onions, potatoes, garlic, coffee, tomatoes, and bananas. These should be kept out of the fridge for best results. 

Though it may not seem like it, organizing your fridge can make a huge difference. For further advice on any of your household appliances, contact All Brands Appliance Repair today!

Maintaining your gas stove may seem like an intimidating task, but it doesn’t have to be. Once you understand what your gas stove needs, keeping it working properly can be simple. 

Here are a few tips we’ve learned about maintaining your gas stove. 

• Wipe down after every use. It’s important that you keep the top of your stove clean after every time you use it. This will prevent food and grime from building up on the surface. 
• Wait until the stove has cooled to clean it. It might take a gas stove longer to cool down than an electric one, so keep that in mind.
• Clean grates and burners with soapy water. You can clean off tough messes this way, but always remember to wipe and dry them completely before returning them to the stove. Any water at all can harm your stove and cause it to stop working.
• Clean gas nozzles without using chemicals. Since the nozzles have to ignite to work, using chemicals can cause unpleasant fumes or even start fires! Make sure that when you are cleaning the areas around your gas nozzles, you are only using chemical-free cleaners. 
• Clean out clogged burner holes with a pipe-cleaner. There are also special cleaning implements that you can buy to do this, but any pipe cleaner will work fine. Sometimes food debris clogs up the holes in the burners, preventing the burner from starting. Make sure to clean it all out regularly.
• Regular igniter service is key. Make sure that you have your igniter serviced at least every year. This can keep burners from needing to be replaced before their time, and it allows your stove to live up to its best potential.

By following these tips, you can take care of your gas stove on a safe, regular basis. It’s quick and easy and might save you money in the long run!

However, if you have concerns or need advice about your gas stove, don’t hesitate to contact All Brands Appliance Repair!

Modern clothes dryers are loaded with settings and features. With so many options, choosing the right setting for your laundry can be confusing!

Here, we’ll try to explain what each setting does and how you can use it to get the most out of your dryer.

• Air Fluff/Air Dry: This is the simplest cycle in terms of technology, but it’s one of the most mystifying when it comes to your clothes. The air dry cycle doesn’t use heat to dry clothes. In fact, if you’re looking to dry your clothes at all, this is not the setting you should use. It’s mostly useful for fluffing pillows, removing lint and pet hair, and refreshing fabrics throughout your home. 
• Delicate/Gentle: This cycle is used mostly for thin, loosely-woven fabrics. It uses a low-heat setting to keep high-performing fabrics looking their best. For any clothing with embellishment (embroidery, iron-on accents) or lace, or any silk or rayon fabrics, this is the best cycle.
• Regular: The regular cycle uses high heat to dry clothes quickly. It can make colors fade and damage more delicate or high-performing fabrics. It’s recommended that this cycle be used to dry sweatpants, jeans, cottons, and sheets, along with any pure white laundry that you have. 
• Heavy: Much like the regular cycle, the heavy cycle uses high heat, but usually much more aggressively. This is great for heavier laundry items, like bath towels, but shouldn’t be used for most other fabrics.
• Permanent Press: Permanent press uses a medium heat setting to prevent wrinkles. It is recommended for nearly everything you wear that isn’t delicate or made of cotton. Button-down shirts, blouses, slacks, jackets, dresses, and other outerwear do well in a permanent press cycle. It’s great for most synthetic fabrics.
• Steam: The steam cycle is available on most modern dryers. It works best for freshening your clothes but doesn’t dry well. For this reason, it should be used when clothes aren’t ready to be washed yet but need some refreshing. It can also help prevent wrinkles if you’re going to be leaving clothes in the dryer after the cycle is complete. 

Remember that if a garment has specific instructions on the tag, you should attempt to follow those instructions first and foremost. Otherwise, use this quick and easy guide to determine which setting should be used for your laundry.
