Cleaning your appliance is good.

At Western Appliance, here in Boise Idaho, we strive to make customers happy with our premium service at all times, each and every repair. 
Here we see a typical front load electric washer and a electric dryer in need of repair.  Whether we change a heater element, a belt, a roller, idler pulley, or just plain maintenance, we will clean your dryers interior the best we can.  This ensures there are no dangerous lint balls that may be ignited by the red-hot heater element when the dryer is running at it's hottest.  Lint and debris, if it's not cleaned out, can cause a reduction in air flow to components such as the blower and the motor.  When the blower overheats it's shape tends to distort and cause the dryer to "roar" or have a "rumbling" sound when it's running.  Dryer drive motors can go bad prematurely due to the increase stress of the heat.  When your dryer needs to be repaired, our service in Boise is the best you can get, guaranteed1

The best Maytag Washer ever built!!

This is a picture of a Maytag front-load washing machine built in the 1990's.  It's one of the first front load washer designs that came to market and is one of the most dependable and desired washers in Boise Idaho and throughout United States.
There are many many of the washer owners who prefer to keep these washers alive and to squeeze every inch of life that's left out of them, and for good cause.  The sheet metal is thick, the chassis is robust, the electronics are dependable and the main bearing last for years and years.  There are not many things that go wrong with these but occasionally the will need to be repaired.
A repair is not cheap but compared to the cost of a newer washer, that may need to be repaired after 3-4 years, if your lucky, fixing these washers is very practical.
I, personally, have owned this same model of washer for 20 years and it needed one repair in that 20 year span.  Try to get that dependability in a washer now?  It won't happen.  Most of the new appliances, if your lucky, will last about 7 years.  Well, I think we all now the quality of appliances built and imported into the United States - Quality is lacking.  As an Appliance Repair Boise technician at Western Appliance, I have seen my share of bad quality washers, dryers, ovens, and refrigerators.
What can an average Boise consumer like you and me do?   Well, one thing we can do is shop smart.  Don't settle for cheaply made appliances, choose your washer or dryer wisely. 
One of the best washers I have seen in Boise, is the Speed Queen washing machine.  Don't let the name fool you.  This appliance is a Maytag design through and through.  The design is a carryover of the old Maytag washer that is built to last 25 years.  It is robust!  It may be the last washer you may every buy.  The price is not cheap but the quality of this washer will keep away from costly appliance repairs for the rest of your life.    Cheers!
