Appliance Maintenance - Frequently Asked Questions
How often should appliance maintenance be done?
For most households, once per year is a strong baseline. High-use homes, rental units, condos, and households with pets often benefit from more frequent maintenance.
Can maintenance actually prevent breakdowns?
Many major failures start as small issues such as airflow restrictions, buildup, worn rollers, loose connections, or slow leaks. Maintenance significantly reduces the risk of emergency breakdowns, though no service can guarantee zero failures.
Is appliance maintenance worth the cost?
Most customers choose maintenance to extend appliance lifespan, improve efficiency, reduce noise, and avoid expensive surprise repairs. Over time, maintenance usually costs far less than emergency repairs or premature replacement.
Is appliance maintenance included in your protection plan?
Yes. Our Appliance Protection Plan includes scheduled maintenance as part of the coverage. Members receive proactive care, priority service, and protection against unexpected breakdowns, making it a strong option for long-term appliance ownership.
Will your technician try to upsell me repairs?
No. Our technicians are in-house Octopus Royal employees, not subcontractors and not commission-based. You receive honest findings, clear explanations, and transparent recommendations without pressure.
Simple DIY maintenance tips between professional visits
These basic steps help reduce wear and improve performance. They do not replace professional maintenance, which includes internal inspection, testing, and safety checks.
- Clean the lint filter after every load
- Wash the lint screen with warm water monthly
- Avoid overloading to maintain airflow
- Use HE detergent and correct amounts
- Run a tub-clean cycle monthly
- Leave the door slightly open to reduce odors
- Clean the filter regularly

DIY steps help between visits, but professional maintenance includes internal cleaning, component inspection, performance testing, and safety checks that cannot be done safely without the right tools and experience.
