Keeping your household running can be a daunting task! Your famous casserole dish needs to be ready by 6:00, and your son has a pile of laundry you can barely see over. Luckily, your trusted washing machine and oven have stood by you for years – keeping your clothes fresh and bright and your family’s stomachs from grumbling.
Unfortunately, when your home appliances stop working, life keeps going. Your son’s laundry pile soon engulfs his room and the toaster oven just won’t cut it for your casserole. What are you going to do?
As commander-in-chief of your household, there are a few different options to get your appliances back into working condition. Many household appliance issues can be solved with a little do-it-yourself knowledge and a screwdriver. Over the course of your appliance’s life, hundreds of dollars can be saved on costly repair bills through proper maintenance and quick-fixes.
Sometimes your home toolbox will not be enough to get your appliance working properly and a repair service will need to come take a look. It is important to do your research and find a trusted, experienced technician to resolve your appliance issue.
A great place to start your search for the right repair service is by calling the manufacturer of your appliance. The manufacturer will most likely be able to give you a list of certified repair servicers in your area. Many times, the manufacturer can give you information on your product, decipher any error messages, walk you through troubleshooting procedures or even identify the problem over the phone.
Word-of-mouth is another way to find quality service. Neighbors, friends and family may have insight on a local, trusted repair service to get your appliance running again. If your neighbor had a great experience with a service, chances are you will have exceptional results as well.
Your local yellow pages or an online search is another way to locate servicers in your area. These are two great tools to find a repair service; however, it is important to do your homework before you select a servicer. Check to see if the servicer is accredited through the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and is in good standing. Lots of great information is available on the BBB website that can give you an understanding of the company you to let into your home to handle your appliance. Simply enter your zip code and the servicer’s name!
Another way to find local, trusted repair service is through online membership sites like Angie’s List and Service Magic. For an annual fee, Angie’s List will give you access to an online database where consumers rate the service they receive on many different aspects from price to quality of work to ensure you receive the best work possible. Service Magic is a free alternative that gets you in contact with trusted and screened servicers in your area.
What is next after you think you have located the right servicer for your appliance? After finding a trusted repair service, it is important to be sure that you receive a fair quote for the labor performed and/or parts associated with the repair. Keep in mind that some servicers charge fees for a variety of things. Ask before work is performed to avoid surprises on your statement.
In some cases, the appliance does not work due to a malfunctioning or faulty control. The repairman will likely replace it with a new or refurbished part. What happens if the part is no longer available?
Just because the part you need is no longer available does not mean your appliance is doomed to the end of the driveway. CoreCentric Solutions, located out of Glendale Heights, IL offers a wide range of repair services for appliance controls that are no longer available. This solution allows you to avoid a costly product replacement; and will keep your appliance operational for years to come! Control board repairs are performed in-house at CoreCentric Solutions are usually within 2-4 business days after receipt and carry a full 6 month warranty. Visit their website or call 1-888-737-2244 for more information.

Simple Tips to Reduce Heating Costs
We’ve been lucky with such a mild winter our heating bills haven’t been very high. Now that the winter cold has arrived we shouldn’t forget about conserving energy when heating our home. Here are some simple tips to help reduce heating costs, save you money and helps the environment.
1. Reduce thermostat setting to 68 degrees.
Winter heating costs are closely related to interior temperature. Reducing your thermostat setting can save substantially on heating costs. Adding a sweater and a warm pair of socks can go a long way to increase comfort in a cooler house.
2. Set back thermostat at night and when house is unoccupied.
Setting the thermostat back 10 degrees at night or when the house will be unoccupied can save up to 15 percent on heating costs. While it is true the furnace will have to run more to reheat the house, the energy saved while the home is cooler more than offsets the extra run time to reheat the home.
3. Install a programmable thermostat.
Programmable thermostats provide the ability to lower the home temperature at night and during the day and still have the home warm when you get up or arrive home from work. The prices of programmable thermostats have come down and many can be found for less than $50. If you have a heat pump, a special setback thermostat is required for maximum savings.
4. Change furnace filter.
Dirty, clogged furnace filters lower the heater’s efficiency by preventing proper airflow through the furnace. Low-cost filters are available from your local hardware store. How often you will need to change filters will vary, but you should check the filter monthly. When you purchase filters, always buy two so you have an extra one on hand. It helps to write the proper filter size on the outside of the furnace cabinet.
5. Have furnace cleaned and tuned.
Having the furnace cleaned and tuned helps assure a safe and efficient furnace. Tuning may involve resetting the fuel air mixture for proper combustion, and cleaning of the blower and burners to assure maximum airflow and complete combustion.
6. Let sunshine in south windows during day.
Open drapes on the south side of your home during winter days and close them at night. Sun angles are low in winter, allowing substantial solar heating through all south windows. You may want to trim vegetation that shades south windows. East, west, and north windows do not contribute to the winter heating effort.
7. Check and replace weather stripping on doors and windows.
Air leaks around faulty weather stripping on doors and windows contribute to making interior spaces of your home uncomfortable and increase heating costs. Check for drafts and repair or replace worn stripping.
8. Close storm windows and doors.
Storm windows installed over primary windows are almost as good as double pane windows for reducing heat loss but only if they are kept closed. Make a check of all your storm windows to assure you have closed them when cold weather arrives.
9. Operate kitchen and bath vents minimally.
Bath and kitchen vents exhaust heated air and moisture to the outside. If your home is dry during the winter, you may not need to operate these vents at all. However, if you have condensation on windows, operate the vents to remove cooking and bathing moisture but be sure to turn them off.
10. Lower the thermostat set point on your water heater.
Water temperatures above about 125 degrees are not needed for most tasks. A simple way to check your water temperature is to carefully place the back of your hand under a steady stream of hot water - if it is too hot to keep there, it is too hot.
11. Install a water heater blanket.
Older water heaters may not have adequate insulation. Install an insulating water heater jacket. Be careful to follow manufacturer's recommendations and don't cover the thermostat.
12. Reduce hot water use.
Reducing hot water use is effective in reducing the cost of heating water. Low-flow showerheads reduce water and energy costs. Take showers rather than baths since showering, in general, takes less water than baths. Modern detergents are formulated to work in cold water so wash in cold water. Repair leaky faucets. This will save on water and water-heating costs.
If you find your kitchen or home appliance is in need of repair, CoreCentric Solutions provides remanufacturing services on electronic controls for all major brand appliances with our production facility and inventory located near Chicago, Illinois. Each of our remanufactured controls are fully analyzed and tested with quality equal to or better than any OEM part. Each control comes with a worry free 6 month performance guarantee.
If you do find your appliance is in need of repair our controls can be purchased online at http://stores.ebay.com/CoreCentric-Solutions-Store

Recycling and State Laws for Electronics
Over half the States in the US have passed legislation mandating statewide e-waste recycling. All states use the Producer Responsibility approach except for California where they charge an upfront fee to the consumer for recycling and Utah where just education of recycling is required.
For most of us it will be illegal to put electronics in the normal trash. The trash hauler will red flag you if you try to put it in your trash and being caught will probably get you fined. A list of electronics to be recycled should include the following:
Televisions
Monitors
Printers
Computers ( laptop, notebook, netbook, tablet)
Electronic Keyboards
Facsimile Machines
Videocassette Recorders
Portable Digital Music Players
Digital Video Disc Players
Video Game Consoles
Small Scale Servers
Scanners
Electronic Mice
Digital Converter Boxes
Cable Receivers
Satellite Receivers
Digital Video Disc Recorders
Cell Phones
USEPA estimates that 85% of electronics are currently not recycled; these items contain mined materials that can be reclaimed, reused and recycled. Recycling rather than dumping these items saves resources and creates jobs, many of them right here in the US.
CoreCentric Solutions, Inc. in Glendale Heights, IL remanufactures appliance parts such as control boards, ice makers and mechanical timers. Benefits of using remanufactured parts include not only doing the right thing by helping the environment, but also helps to fulfill customer demand while keeping parts in the marketplace longer. Using remanufactured parts is also good for the ecomony. It keeps many of us in the USA employed.

Home Appliance Maintenance Tips
Anyone who owns a home appliance will agree the latest generation of appliances don’t last as long as older appliances. The life expectancy of a typical appliance depends to a great extent on the use it receives. Of the major appliances in a home, gas ranges have the longest life expectancy: 15 years. Dryers and refrigerators last about 13 years. Some of the appliances with the shortest lifespan are: compactors (6 years), dishwashers (9 years) and microwave ovens (9 years).
While the quality of your appliance and the intensity of use are factors that determine its lifespan, you can help increase the life expectancy of your home appliance with some simple maintenance listed below.
Refrigerator Maintenance
Condensers
Clean condenser coils regularly by gently brushing off buildup that may cause overheating.
Location
Locate refrigerators away from heat sources like your range, a radiator, or a sunny window. To prevent overheating and system failure, do not locate the refrigerator near anything that can restrict the airflow to the motor, coils and compressor. Also, do not place refrigerators on top of carpeting because most condensers are located under the refrigerator and carpeting retains heat, causing the compressor to overwork.
Seals
Regularly clean the seals in order to maintain proper temperature control and system.
Dedicated Outlet
To avoid burning out the compressor, always plug the refrigerator directly into the wall. If you absolutely need to run an extension cord, make sure a heavy duty, 3-pronged extensions cord. If unsure, consult the manufacturer specifications in the user guide.
Range and Oven Maintenance
Keep It Clean
Don't allow heavy grease buildup on the oven interior. Clean burner drip pans thoroughly to bring out the shine needed to properly radiate heat back. Carefully clean around gasket seals with a mild, nonabrasive cleaner. DO NOT use oven cleaners in self-cleaning ovens.
Dryer Maintenance
Lint Filter
Empty the lint filter after each and every use for efficient drying and fire prevention. Remove anything else that can impede good airflow. Do not forget to clean the back of the dryer where lint settles over time.
Vent
Vent your dryer to the outside, never vent it inside. Clean out exhaust vent system at least once a year to remove clogs or other obstructions that can impede good airflow. Never vent with plastic or vinyl.
Heat Sensitive Items
Do not place foam backed rugs, rubber/plastic shoes or other heat sensitive articles in dryers. Also, to prevent fires, do not place clothing or other items soiled with flammable substances like gasoline and alcohol. Check the pockets of clothes for crayons and other heat sensitive items that may ruin the other clothes.
Overloading
To save energy, do not overload the dryer and make sure items are not water logged. This may also lead to motor failure.
Washer Maintenance
Level
Make sure that the washing machine’s feet are level to prevent an imbalance in the machine that may cause loud noises and added wear and tear on the unit a whole.
Hoses
Rubber Hoses, over time, get worn out, brittle and leak. It is recommended that hoses be replaced every 5-7 years. Check drain hoses to make sure it’s not impeded from draining. Remove kinks and other stoppages. Improper draining may cause the pump to overheat and burn out.
Overloading
Overloading your washer with clothes adds pressure on the hoses which can cause them to burst. It also makes the washing machine work harder.
Belts
Check belts regularly to see if they need replacement. Worn or stretched belts will cause the washing machine to work harder.
Dishwasher Maintenance
Level
Make sure that the dishwasher’s feet are level to prevent an imbalance in the machine that may cause loud noises and added wear and tear on the unit a whole.
Cleaning
Regularly run a cup of white vinegar through a complete cleaning cycle of the empty dishwasher. This will gently clean residues, odors and debris from the unit.
Spray Arm
Clean the holes in the spray arm with a toothbrush and a mixture of white vinegar and warm water. Make sure you remove all debris and residues. Doing this regularly will remove the stress on the pumps and motor.
Filter
If your dishwasher has a filter underneath the lower spray arm, remove all debris and rinse to protect the pump and motor seals. Replace if it has holes. A dirty filter may cause the dishwasher to not drain.
Hoses
Check drain hoses to make sure it’s not impeded from draining. Remove kinks and other stoppages. Improper draining may cause the pump to overheat and burn out.
To sum it up – Keep it level and keep it clean and your appliance should serve you well.

Remanufacturing and the Environment
Remanufacturing old unused parts can play a major role in assisting the environment. It helps conserve energy, reduces air pollution and helps keep unnecessary waste and harmful chemicals from entering our landfills and water.
Remanufacturing gives a product numerous lives instead of just one, saving costs on raw materials while conserving natural resources such as timber, water and minerals. By extending product life, remanufacturing saves 85 per cent of the energy that went into manufacturing the original product. With same quality as new products, remanufactured products can save 50 percent costs, 60 percent energy and 70 percent raw materials. Remanufacturing also creates jobs here in the US.
A Remanufactured good is a returned product that a manufacturer puts through its manufacturing process, or remanufactures, to restore to a good-as-new condition. When a part is remanufactured, it is disassembled, cleaned and examined for wear and breakage. Components are replaced and the part is restored to its original conditional. After the part is assembled it is goes through a full functional test and put on the market for consumers to purchase. A remanufactured part cost less and is equal or better than the OEM part.
CoreCentric Solutions is a leader in the remanufacture of electronic controls and electromechanical parts for major appliances, fitness equipment and HVAC products. Since 1995 we’ve been providing customized product and part lifecycle management along with remanufacturing solutions to some of the largest retailers and major appliance manufacturers in the world.
