Mandy's Appliance Maintenance Advice

Hello! I would like to give you all a very warm welcome to my new blog. This blog is designed to help you to quickly find the information you need to keep the appliances in your home in good working order. I am not a professional appliance sales person but over the past 10 years, I have called in a number of contractors who have carried out servicing and repair work. While they are working on my oven, freezer or dishwasher, I always chat with them and ask them questions. I have learnt so much that I decided I would start offering my advice online.
