KIC Appliance Maintenance Tips
KIC appliances last longer with the right care. Follow these maintenance tips from our KIC-trained technicians to keep your fridge, chest freezer, washing machine and stove performing for years.
Defrost Your KIC Chest Freezer Annually
KIC chest freezers accumulate ice on the walls. Defrost them once a year and clean out the frost — this keeps cooling efficient and reduces compressor wear.
Clean the KIC Washing Machine Drain Hose
KIC top-loaders and twin-tubs can develop drain hose blockages. Disconnect and rinse the hose every few months to prevent drainage failures.
Check KIC Stove Knobs Periodically
Knob spindles loosen over time on KIC stoves. Tighten the centre fixing periodically to keep accurate temperature control and prevent ignition issues on gas models.
Vacuum KIC Fridge Coils Every 6 Months
Dust on the coils forces the KIC compressor to work harder. Twice-yearly vacuuming reduces energy use and extends compressor life.
Replace Worn KIC Door Seals
Cracked or warped door seals on KIC fridges, freezers and washing machines waste energy, cause leaks and stress components. Inspect them every few months.
Don't Overload KIC Tumble Dryers
KIC tumble dryers have a rated capacity. Overloading wears the drum belt and motor over time. Spread big loads across two cycles.
