Did you know?Appliances have a useful life.
Appliances that have exceeded their safe service life.
There are safety risks.
Recently. Shenzhen Municipal Consumer Council.
Shenzhen Testing Institute issued consumption tips.
According to the national residential fires in the past 10 years released by the Fire and Rescue Bureau of the Ministry of Emergency Management, from 2012 to 2021, a total of 132 residential fires occurred across the country40,000 up. Among them, electrical fires accounted for 427%, which is the first type of fireThe important causes of electrical fires are the excess of the safe use period of household appliances, the load of electrical appliances, the aging of wiring, and the use of inferior electrical equipment.
Data map. The safe service life of household appliances refers to:
Appliances in normal use.
The basic number of years to ensure the safety of the user.
The safe service life of the air conditioner is counted from the date of manufacture.
The rest is counted from the date of sale.
In January 2020, the "Safe Service Life of Household Appliances" series of group standards was officially released, which clearly pointed out the safe service life of various household appliances. Where:
The safe service life of air conditioners, refrigerators, and microwave ovens is:10 years
The safe service life of range hoods, TVs, and dishwashers is8 to 10 years
The safe service life of washing machines, electric water heaters, and gas stoves is:8 years
The safe service life of rice cookers and vacuum cleaners is3 to 5 years
What problems will arise when household appliances are used beyond the expiration date?
According to the introduction. Overdue use of household appliances will occur.
Internal components are aging.
Electricity and gas consumption have increased.
Problems such as increased noise and energy consumption.
Air conditioningAfter the safe service life, its heating effect deteriorates, power consumption increases, the risk of electricity leakage and water leakage increases, the internal evaporator ages, the dirt increases, and the air blown out of the air conditioner becomes more and more "dirty", affecting the health of consumers.
RefrigeratorAfter the safe service life, the refrigeration effect and freshness effect may deteriorate, the noise and power consumption may increase, the food is easy to cross-flavor, difficult to keep fresh, and at the same time, the internal bacteria multiplyAging lines, refrigerant leakage, and flutter may occur during operation, increasing the risk of electric shock and spontaneous combustion.
Washing machineWhen the safe service life is exceeded, the water pipes are seriously corroded and easy to leak, and there is also the problem of too many bacteria, and the clothes may become dirtier and dirtier the more they are washedThe line is aging, and it is easy to have short circuit and leakage.
Range hoodAfter the safe service life, the internal oil accumulation is excessive, the impeller becomes heavier, the motor speed slows down, and the power consumption increasesThe smoke exhaust effect is deteriorating, the noise is louder, and there is shaking during operation.
Electric water heaterAfter the safe service life, the internal electrical components are easy to age, and the scale of the heating pipe and inner tank will become thicker and thicker, and the corrosion will become more and more serious, resulting in poor heating effect, increased power consumption, and increased risk of leakage.
The Shenzhen Municipal Consumer Council reminds consumers
When the home appliance is used, it is now "aging" characteristics.
It is recommended to carry out maintenance or replacement in time.
At the time of purchase, installation, use, maintenance.
Here are a few things to keep in mind.
When purchasing, look for CCC logo brand products. Do not buy low-quality appliances that are cheap or do not have the CCC mark through informal channels, so as not to leave potential safety hazards.
When installing, it is necessary to give preference to the installation service of the official and formal channels. Do not install it by yourself, it is easy to cause potential safety hazards and lose the right to formal maintenance.
When in use, it should be used and maintained scientifically. When using, follow the instructions for the use of household appliances to use household appliances correctly, use special lines for large-capacity electrical appliances as much as possible, wires can not be randomly connected, and multiple electrical appliances cannot use the same socket. If you don't use it for a long time, you should turn off the power of electrical appliances in time and develop the habit of "people go and cut off the power", which is both energy-saving and safe. Daily maintenance is one of the effective measures to extend the service life of electrical appliances, regularly clean electrical appliances, keep the environment dry and ventilated, so as to avoid failures caused by moisture or dust and other factors.
When repairing, it is necessary to choose a regular after-sales channel to repair home appliances. When the product during the warranty period encounters quality problems, it should be dealt with in time by contacting the official after-sales channels (after-sales service on the manual, official customer service, etc.), and do not search for maintenance from the Internet at will, so as not to lose the rights and interests of formal maintenanceAfter the warranty period, consumers should also choose a formal maintenance organization, and the home appliances should be inspected and retained.
