How do I keep my lawn mower working correctly?

• <div><p>Lawnmowers<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/8-maintenance-tips-keep-your-lawn-mower-running.htm"> require seasonal maintenance</a> to continue working correctly. With routine maintenance, you can extend its life to the fullest, which is around 10 years for push mowers and 5-8 years for riding mowers. To keep your lawn mower working correctly, you’ll want to take the following steps at least once a year:</p><ul><li><p>Replace the spark plug</p></li><li><p>Change the oil</p></li><li><p>Drain the fuel tank</p></li><li><p>Clean the mowing deck (ideally, after every mow)</p></li><li><p>Replace the air filter</p></li><li><p>Check the carburetor</p></li><li><p>Sharpen the blades</p></li><li><p>Fog the engine</p></li><li><p>Check the tires</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Can I repair my lawn mower myself?

• <div><p>If you are a skilled DIYer with experience, you can do certain lawn mower repairs yourself. However, if you’ve never worked on a lawn mower before or if your mower needs extensive repairs, it’s best to let a skilled lawn mower technician work on your machine. While it might be a little more expensive due to the cost of labor, nothing beats knowing that the job was done successfully (and often with warranties). </p></div>

I called to get the icemaker repaired. Bob was punctual, very friendly, and ending up fixing the water dispensor as well, which hadn't worked in years. The price was very reasonable. I will most definitely call this repairman for all my future appliance repair needs.
