[PConline] We all know that every item has a certain period of use. If it exceeds the period of use, it will bring about various side effects. Similarly, the same applies to home appliances. Around us, many consumers are holding diligent and constrained consumption concepts. They will not replace the electrical appliances in their homes, and many old appliances are still serving in “overage ageâ€.
Although diligence and thrift are a virtue, some “overage†old home appliances will not only affect the user’s experience, but will also seriously become home’s “time bombs.†Once these “time bombs†are detonated, That will seriously endanger the safety of the family.
"Overage" Service Appliance Hidden I: Home Noise Killer
The use of home appliances for more than 6-7 years, due to the high frequency of use, the loss of the machine is still relatively large, so the most obvious and intuitive manifestation of the impact on our lives is to create a lot of noise, take the old home appliance editors as an example .
This refrigerator has been in use for the eighth year without hesitation. Although there is still a certain period of time from the normal life of the refrigerator (12-16 years), the editor's eagerness to replace the refrigerator has not been withdrawn. The editor used a noise meter to test it, and finally measured its noise value was 56.8dB, which has seriously affected the editor's evening routine!
The washing machine that was used for the sixth year was tested again, and its noise value was measured to be 49.7 dB. Moreover, judging from the quality of the brand, this washing machine that had been in use for 6 years has often appeared in the laundry process and the program has automatically stopped running. It seems that the time has come to replace the washing machine.
Decibel level
0-20 dB is very quiet, almost 20-40 decibels quiet, like a 40-60 decibel whisper, normal indoor conversation 60-70 decibels noisy, destructive nerves 70-90 decibels noisy, nerve cell damage 90 -100 dB loud noise, 100-120 dB impaired hearing loss, irreparable deafness for a minute or more that is temporarily deaf to 120 dB or more, or around 300 cm or above, or 20 km above.Summary: After some of the above tests, it can be seen that the use of electrical appliances for more than 5-6 years has already begun to produce loud noises, and that the electrical appliances in the editors are still within the qualified service life, let alone those “ "Overage" old service appliances. So, for your own daily routine, you should quickly replace the “overage†old appliance in your home!
"Overage" Service Appliances Hidden Trouble 2: Frequent Accidents
In people's daily consumption concept, household appliances can be used as long as they do not malfunction. In fact, this is a consumer misunderstanding, and any appliance has a useful life. In general, household appliances have reached the "retirement age" for more than 10 years. Overdue service of old appliances often leads to fires, explosions and even the leakage of harmful substances due to the aging of lines and devices.
TVs - Overage service can lead to explosion risks
TVs can be said to be the household appliances that have the highest household penetration in China, and TV accidents such as spontaneous combustion and explosions are also common. The service life of CRT TVs is generally 8-10 years. After the design life is exceeded, the TV security risks will increase significantly. Especially those televisions that are used for a long time and are not maintained are prone to accidents such as spontaneous combustion or explosion. At the same time, due to the aging of components, TVs that are out of service will also have poor image clarity, resulting in screen jitter and other issues, and may even damage people's eyesight and generate radiation pollution.
The life of flat-panel TVs that are beginning to be popular today is relatively longer. Most models can reach 50,000 hours of use, and some models can even reach a service life of 100,000 hours. However, some models, such as LCD TVs, may suffer from the problem that the brightness of the LCD TVs will begin to drop after a few years of use. Although they may still work, their performance is not as good as before.
Washing machine - high leakage risk of leakage
In addition to the use of electricity during the use of washing machines, but also water, the risk factor is relatively high. The core component of the washing machine is the motor. Relatively speaking, the imported motor has a longer service life. The average service life of a washing machine is about 8 years. However, the extended use of the washing machine not only has the risk of electric leakage and water leakage, but also the internal cleanliness of the laundry tub is difficult to use with confidence. All kinds of accumulated dirt and bacteria in the inner cylinder will make the washing machine completely. "Laundry machine."
Refrigerator - Expiring or affecting food hygiene
The refrigerator can be said to be the product with the highest frequency of use and the longest average boot time in all home appliances. Almost all people are switched on 24 hours. The heart of the refrigerator is the compressor. Like a washing machine, the average life of imported compressors is slightly longer than that of domestic ones. The average life of the refrigerator is 12 to 16 years.
The performance of refrigerator compressors that are out of service will be severely reduced, and the overall cooling capacity will be greatly reduced. The compressors will need to work longer to meet the set temperature. Therefore, old refrigerators are also prone to noise, high power consumption, and poor cooling. At the same time, the internal sanitation of these old refrigerators is difficult to meet the standards. After the aging of the materials, bacteria are easy to grow and it is also easy to pose a threat to the health of users.
Water heater - high risk factor for extended use
Electric water heaters are also a class of appliances with a high risk factor in the home. The news of the electric water heater causing electric leakage and the explosion of the gas water heater leaked. Whether it is electric water heaters or gas water heaters, the service life is mostly 6-8 years. Overheating water heater internal components aging, more likely to produce security risks. In addition, the quality of tap water in our country is not stable. It is easy to accumulate scale and various impurities in the interior of long-term use of water heaters, causing poor water discharge or power consumption.
Summary: Originally, extended home appliances for home security is hiding such a huge hidden danger, so if home appliances are still in use, for the sake of personal and property safety, we still try to replace it!
How long does home appliance use count as "overage"?
When appliances are used for a long time, not only do they consume more electricity, but they may also cause short circuits and even cause spontaneous combustion or explosions. It is simply terrible! So, how long have the service life of various types of household appliances been?
TV: 8-10 years
In general, a home TV will not be replaced if it cannot be seen. However, if the TV is unclear and the screen trembles, it means that the relevant components in the TV have deteriorated. At this time, if you force it, it may be dangerous.
Refrigerator: 12-16 years
The service life of the refrigerator will be slightly longer, but if your home refrigerator is used for too long, check if there is any reduction in cooling performance, excessive operating noise, and jitters during operation. If so, you need to be vigilant. In addition, studies have shown that a refrigerator that operates for ten years will use twice as much electricity as it was in the beginning of use. Therefore, use it with caution.
Air conditioning: 8-10 years
Air conditioners of different brands and different living environments have a large gap in their useful life. Air conditioners that use air conditioners for a long period of time will make a lot of noise. If they are air conditioners that use fluoridation, they will have a bad environment if they are used for a long time. If the air conditioner has been sprayed with dust, and even the black water will often flow out, it means that your air conditioner has reached the limit!
Electric water heater: 8 years
The water heater has become an essential household appliance in people's daily life. However, if the appliance needs to be started, if the service life is too long, a lot of scale will accumulate and the heating wire will age. Therefore, it is recommended that there be a problem during use. Please replace it immediately. Electric water heaters used to prevent the corrosion of magnesium rods will be replaced within 1-2 years, 4-5 years without replacement there may be leakage of liner corrosion perforation.
Rice cooker: 10 years
Rice cookers are commonly used appliances in our lives. Its power is very large. Therefore, during use, you must pay attention to: The power plug should not always be pulled out, it is easy to increase the resistance, resulting in a fever at the plug interface, causing fire. In general, the life of a rice cooker is 6-8 years, and 10 years is the limit.
Washing machine: 8 years
In the late 1980s, families with better home conditions would have washing machines in their homes. At that time, the quality of the washing machine was better and the life span was longer. However, do not think that the washing machine can be used casually. In general, the life of a washing machine is 8 years. If the washing machine leaks or leaks when it is used, it reminds you that it is time for a new one.
Summary: It can be seen that the service life of home appliances is still relatively long, but for these “old folks†who have served us for a long time, we are grateful to them and we must proceed from personal safety. Once we have discovered that home appliances have a long service life, When a variety of failures occur, they should be replaced in a timely manner so as not to lose money.
Summary: "The new three years, the old three years, repairing and patching another three years", this is probably a true portrayal of many consumer spending concepts now! Although diligence and thrift are the fine traditions that our ancestors left behind, traditional virtues also need to keep pace with the times. For some old appliances that serve “overage ageâ€, we must learn to reluctantly replace them and avoid causing property personal safety before we regret it! Here, the editor asked weakly, did you have such a "time bomb" in your home?
