How Often Should Your Appliances Be Serviced? A Simple Yearly Schedule

By Chapmansboro Appliance Repair Pro · Updated October 2026

One visit a year covers the checks that prevent most breakdowns and floods. Here is the schedule we recommend, appliance by appliance.

Once a year: the whole-home visit

A yearly maintenance visit covers refrigerator coils and seals, washer hoses and filters, dishwasher screens, and the dryer vent. It takes about as long as a repair visit and prevents the failures that cause most emergency calls.

Every 6 months: filters and small checks

Change the refrigerator water filter, clean the dishwasher filter, and wipe the washer door boot and detergent drawer. These are five-minute jobs that keep smells, slow ice, and dirty dishes away.

Every 2 to 3 years: hoses and deeper checks

Rubber washer hoses age out in about 3 to 5 years. Stainless braided hoses last longer but still deserve a look for bulges and rust at the fittings.

Seasonal habit for Cheatham County homes

Before summer, garage freezers and second fridges work their hardest in Tennessee heat. Clean their coils in spring and they will run cooler and cheaper in July.

When a tune-up finds something

A good maintenance visit ends with an honest list: what is healthy, what is aging, and what to budget for. Nothing on that list should come with pressure to fix it that day.

Good Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Is yearly appliance maintenance really necessary?

For the dryer vent and refrigerator coils, yes, those two alone prevent fires, breakdowns, and high bills. The rest of the visit is inspection that catches cheap problems while they are still cheap.

Can I do appliance maintenance myself?

Filters, coils you can reach, and hose checks are fair DIY. Gas connections, sealed refrigeration, and electrical testing belong to a technician.

What does a maintenance visit cost?

It depends on how many appliances are included. Call for current plan details and we will quote the visit before we come out.

Do you maintain appliances you did not install?

Yes. Brand, age, and installer do not matter for maintenance.
