Why appliances fail in Salem
Every appliance in a Salem home works against the same local conditions: a July high near 84°F, a January low around 36°F, and roughly 40.1" of precipitation a year (NOAA 1991–2020, Salem Airport (mcnary Field) station 2 mi away). Refrigeration load peaks for 2 months in mid-summer and eases either side of it. Dryer use rises through the 2 cooler months, bringing the usual heating-element and vent problems with it.
Local tip: Run a hot washer-cleaning cycle monthly — the persistent regional damp makes mildew buildup faster than average.
All major brands serviced in Salem, including Whirlpool, Samsung, LG, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, KitchenAid, Bosch, Kenmore, and Amana — covering refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, stoves, ranges, and freezers.

What Salem's climate does to appliances
Salem averages a July high near 84°F and a January low around 36°F (NOAA 1991–2020 normals, Salem Airport (mcnary Field) station, 2 mi away). Salem gets 2 months averaging 80°F or hotter, so refrigeration strain is seasonal rather than constant — cooling calls cluster in mid-summer. With 2 cool months (highs at or below 50°F), dryer use climbs noticeably in winter.
