The foreman from the service told why he cleans the heaters and all the electrics in the country once a year

The other day I talked to a curious person - they call it Peter, all my life I was engaged in repairing household appliances of any complexity and size: from a refrigerator to a toaster. We met with him on the dacha alley, got into a conversation, and, as if casually, I asked where he was carrying such a huge pack of disposable wet wipes.

It turned out that Peter once a year arranges a total cleaning of all electrical appliances that are in his house and which are amenable to assembly and disassembly.

Word for word, I went to his house, and clearly saw why this is really important. I present what I saw to your attention:

The photo shows an ordinary oil radiator, which Peter uses to heat his country house in the off-season. Only without plastic cover. As you can see, dust balls have accumulated on the terminal block and contacts in just a year.

Someone will say that dust does not interfere with the operation of electrical appliances, but Peter during his practice has seen burnt irons, floor lamps and other equipment more than once. That is why every year he does prevention.

Situation: you pulled the same heater by the cord, the contact began to loosen or broke - a place appeared that heats up with the passage of electricity. If dust accumulates on it (and it accumulates), and this place heats up - Mom will blaze, do not grieve!

Therefore, the old master arranges for the devices annual preventive maintenance - experience, son of difficult mistakes, as Pushkin wrote.

Hope this advice was youuseful!!!
