Appliance Maintenance Planner

Pick the appliances you own and get a monthly, quarterly and annual plan for keeping them alive.

Everything happens in your browser. Nothing you type is uploaded, there is no account, and the PDF is built on your own device. We count how often this tool is opened and used — a number, with nothing attached to it. What that means.

What you have

How it works

  1. Tick the appliances you actually have.
  2. The planner groups the jobs by how often they come round.
  3. Print it, or download the PDF and file it with the manuals.

Why use this rather than the printable?

Almost every expensive appliance failure is a cheap job nobody did: a blocked filter, a full condenser, a seal nobody wiped. The jobs are not hard, they are just invisible until they are not.

Both exist on purpose. If you would rather not type anything, the blank printable versions below are free, need no browser and never change. The tool is for when the personalised version is worth three minutes.

Questions

How often should I really do these?

The plan groups jobs into monthly, quarterly and annual because that is roughly how appliance manuals group them — but your manual is the authority for your machine, especially where a warranty depends on it. Where a manufacturer disagrees with this plan, follow the manufacturer.

Does it cover gas appliances?

It lists the owner-level checks only. Anything involving gas, combustion or sealed systems belongs to a qualified person, and in most countries that is a legal requirement rather than a preference.
