MyHomeAppliances publishes repair guides, buying guides and appliance statistics for people who run a household. Most readers arrive with a problem in front of them: a refrigerator that stopped cooling, a dishwasher that will not drain, a water filter that needs replacing. This page sets out how those guides are researched, checked and kept current, and where the site’s commercial interest sits.
What we cover
The site covers home appliances, water filtration and treatment, and seasonal appliance shopping. Repair and troubleshooting guides list the likely causes of a fault in the order a reader should check them. Buying guides explain what a product does, what it costs to run and who it suits. Statistics pages report a figure with its period and its source.
We do not give medical, legal or financial advice. Some jobs belong to a licensed technician: sealed refrigeration systems, gas connections and mains wiring beyond the plug. Our guides say so at the point where a reader would reach for the tool.
Sources we rely on
A guide starts with evidence, not with a draft. Before an article is written, the editorial team collects the sources it will rest on and saves the relevant passage from each one in the source’s own words, with its URL and the date it was read.
We prefer the source closest to the fact:
- Manufacturers: owner’s manuals, service manuals, official parts catalogs, published error-code tables and support pages.
- Regulators and standards bodies: recall and safety notices from the issuing authority, energy ratings and efficiency standards.
- Original data: government statistics and company filings for figures such as sales, prices and household ownership.
We do not cite forums, marketplace listings or user reviews as evidence for a fact. We also avoid paid market-research report sellers and sites that repackage other people’s data. When two good sources disagree, the article uses the more authoritative and more recent one, and says so when the gap matters to the reader.
Fact checking
Every factual sentence in a draft is linked to the saved passage that supports it. A sentence with no supporting evidence stops the article until it is sourced, narrowed or removed. Automated checks then compare figures, arithmetic, quotations and dates against the saved passages. A second pass asks whether each source supports the sentence as written. A service manual for one model line, for example, does not support a claim about a whole brand.
Safety instructions get the strictest treatment. A safety step that cannot be sourced is taken out of the article. It is not softened with a hedge. Our Fact-Check Policy describes these checks in more detail.
How a guide is written and reviewed
Drafting tools assist with research, structure and language. Every article carries a named byline, and that author is accountable for its accuracy. Before publication, the author reviews the draft against its evidence and against our style rules, and an editor reviews the finished draft in WordPress and decides whether it goes live. We do not claim a separate panel of expert reviewers. Where a guide relies on specialist knowledge, it cites and attributes that source.
Product coverage and testing
Unless an article says otherwise, product information comes from manufacturer specifications, manuals and published documentation. We do not present research as hands-on testing, and we do not give products scores or “best overall” labels without stating the criterion behind them. Opinions and preferences are labeled as ours and kept out of safety-critical sections.
Affiliate links
MyHomeAppliances is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program. When a reader buys through one of our Amazon links, the site may earn a commission at no extra cost to the reader. Commission does not decide which product or part a guide recommends, or whether a fault gets reported. The full statement is on our Amazon Affiliate Disclosure page.
Keeping guides current
Each article shows the date its content last changed. We revisit a guide when a manufacturer revises a model line, issues a service bulletin or announces a recall, and on a scheduled review cycle in between. Recalls are handled straight away. A guide we can no longer keep accurate is retired rather than left to go stale.
