Chapter 15 Make good use of home appliances and pursue new enjoyment of health
Household appliances have service life, such as color TV is 8-10 years, refrigerator is 13-16 years, computer is 6 years.In the past two years, my country has entered the peak period of home appliance scrapping. Every year, a large number of large appliances such as color TVs, computers, and air conditioners are scrapped.However, due to the lack of effective supervision, a large number of "waste home appliances" that must be eliminated have flowed into the second-hand market. Some individual dealers have even used parts and components of waste home appliances to assemble low-quality home appliances. This not only poses safety hazards, but also forms large-scale electronic waste pollution.

Experts believe that the "overdue service" of old home appliances poses a great potential safety hazard.For example, refrigerant leakage occurs in old refrigerators, which makes the fresh-keeping and sterilization effects unsatisfactory, resulting in food odors; the parts of old TVs are worn out and the picture tubes are aging, which may easily cause electric leakage or explosion; the plastic components of washing machines will also age after a long time. It causes electric leakage of the electrical components inside, which is easy to cause electric shock.Not only that, but the power consumption of "overage household appliances" will also increase a lot. For example, every time an air conditioner is used for one year beyond the period, the power consumption will increase by 1%.

Experts remind everyone that when buying old home appliances, in addition to looking at the "ID card", you must also check the manufacturer, production date, serial number and other signs, the purpose is not to be deceived by the "assembled goods" accumulated from old parts.

It is best not to pour boiling water into the washing machine. Pouring boiling water will easily cause deformation of the plastic body or components, and will also cause poor sealing of the impeller shaft, resulting in water leakage. Therefore, when using it, add cold water first and then hot water, and the water temperature should not be too high.
