Are scratches normal on stainless steel appliances?

• <div><p>If you have a stainless steel appliance and notice a scratch, your first instinct might be to panic. There’s no need to reconsider your appliance choices—minor scratches are an unfortunate but totally normal part of stainless steel wear-and-tear. </p><p>Stainless steel is practically rust-resistant, though if you have many hairline scratches (or a significant deep scratch), it is more likely to become discolored and potentially start to form rust if bacteria gets in the scratches. </p></div>

What is the lifespan of a dishwasher?

• <div><p>The average dishwasher lasts between nine and 10 years. With great maintenance and care, your dishwasher’s lifespan could last up to 12 years. It all depends on how often you use it and how well you’ve maintained it.</p></div>

Is it worth it to repair an appliance?

• <div><p>In most cases, the repair is worth the value as it should help maintain the life of the appliance for a longer period, and the repair should be a lower cost than replacing the entire unit. For example, if the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-refrigerator-repair-cost.htm">cost to repair your refrigerator</a> will be more than 50% of the cost to buy a new one, and it’s 10 years old or more, then it may not be worth repairing. </p></div>

Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Removing an appliance is usually a straightforward DIY job, but hiring a haul-away service is worth the investment to make your life easier. Large appliances are bulky and heavy, making them dangerous to move, especially if you need to maneuver them through doorways or up or down stairs. Hiring an appliance removal pro ensures your safety and prevents damage to your home while removing dishwashers and other major appliances. You should always hire an appliance removal company to disconnect water or gas lines, as doing so incorrectly can create serious issues.

If you have a stainless steel appliance and notice a scratch, your first instinct might be to panic. There’s no need to reconsider your appliance choices—minor scratches are an unfortunate but totally normal part of stainless steel wear-and-tear.

Stainless steel is practically rust-resistant, though if you have many hairline scratches (or a significant deep scratch), it is more likely to become discolored and potentially start to form rust if bacteria gets in the scratches.

The average dishwasher lasts between nine and 10 years. With great maintenance and care, your dishwasher’s lifespan could last up to 12 years. It all depends on how often you use it and how well you’ve maintained it.

Take this one seriously! If your oven smells like gas when it’s off, this is a telltale sign of a gas leak that can lead to a fire or explosion. In addition, a small leak has the potential to turn into a major leak without warning if any part of your piping or tubing breaks. Potential sources of a leak include the gas valve, burner, joint, or connection lines behind the stove. If the leak appears to be significant, you should contact the gas company or fire department.

In most cases, the repair is worth the value as it should help maintain the life of the appliance for a longer period, and the repair should be a lower cost than replacing the entire unit. For example, if the cost to repair your refrigerator will be more than 50% of the cost to buy a new one, and it’s 10 years old or more, then it may not be worth repairing.
