Get appliances ready for Christmas

Are your appliances ready for Christmas?

With Christmas just around the corner, now is the time to ensure that your appliances are working well, ready for that extra baking or influx of guests you may have over the holiday period. For a stress-free Christmas you need your oven, fridge and dishwasher to be performing at their best.

This is where Bill Stewart, the Appliance Doctor, can help. Locally owned and operated, the Appliance Doctor has been in business since 2010.

Some issues you might have with your cooking appliances are easily remedied and can make a huge difference to the outcome and enjoyment of the task.

A common issue with stovetop and cooktop elements is an inability to regulate the temperature so the element stays on high even after you’ve turned it down, making it impossible to simmer or heat gently.

Another frequent problem is oven doors that won’t close all the way, leaving a gap to let the heat escape.

If left this way, they use more power, make the elements wear out sooner and damage the door seals. It’s best to get them looked at sooner rather than later.

Don’t let these problems get in the way of a good Christmas dinner.
