"Is Your Home Summer-Ready? Preparing Your Appliances for the Heat"



Beach Time With the Family: Doc Danielson Appliance Repair and Care

Don't Let A Dead Refrigerator Stop You From Taking A Vacation!


Summer is almost upon us here in Texas, and with it comes the promise of sunny days, family barbecues, and cherished vacations. But, fellow Texans, with the arrival of these joyous times, comes the dreaded heat that can wreak havoc on our trusty home appliances. As a seasoned Texan, a parent to eight wonderful kids, and the proud owner of Doc Danielson Appliance Repair and Care, I've gathered some pearls of wisdom over the years that I'm eager to share with you.


This isn't just about the humdrum of appliance maintenance; it's about crafting a summer experience that’s etched in your memories forever. A summer where quality time with your family is paramount, creating memories that your children and grandchildren will carry with them for a lifetime. And let's not forget, you have only 18 precious summers with your kids before they spread their wings and set off on their own adventures.


So, why not take action today and ensure your summer is disaster-free? A refrigerator that keeps your drinks cold even on the hottest summer days, a dishwasher that delivers sparkling dishes, and a washing machine that won't s

suddenly flood your home, are all crucial to a stress-free season. Let's dive into five preventative steps you can take right now:




5 Tips for Keeping Your Appliances Cool and Functioning During the Summer Months

  1. Dryer Safety: Your dryer is a potential fire hazard if not properly maintained. Many aren't aware that lint accumulation inside the dryer and vent duct can lead to devastating fires. Don't just clean the vent; ensure the entire system is lint-free at least once every 12 months. To understand the gravity of this issue, please take a moment to read Megan's Story.

  2. Refrigerator Maintenance: Just like your car needs its oil changed regularly, the coils of your refrigerator need annual cleaning, especially before the Texas heat waves hit.  Your fridge's compressor requires airflow to function efficiently and last longer. Neglect it and your fridge compressor failing can ruin your summer plans. You'll be vacationing at the local park instead of the amusement park.

  3. Ice Maker Upkeep: There's nothing quite like a cool drink on a hot day, and your standalone ice maker plays a starring role. Ensure it's cleaned out twice a year for a bounty of clean, refreshing ice all summer long.

  4. Dishwasher Leaks: Did you know that there are currently over 3 million leaking dishwashers, and homeowners often take 13 months on average to detect these silent menaces? Slow leaks can cause extensive damage, and you might find yourself battling with insurance companies over repairs. Don't let a leaky dishwasher dampen your summer.

  5. Cost-Saving Maintenance: Regular appliance maintenance not only prevents premature wear and tear but can also extend the lifespan of your appliances significantly. Partner with the right appliance service company, and you can enjoy discounts on labor and parts with annual maintenance plans.


Imagine a summer without the anxiety of appliance breakdowns - where the only heat you feel is from the Texas sun and not from the stress of unexpected repairs.
