When to Repair vs Replace?
Deciding whether to repair or replace a refrigerator depends on several factors. Let’s break it down:
-
Age of the Refrigerator: Most refrigerators last 10 to 20 years. If yours is over a decade old, it may be more cost-effective to replace it rather than pay for repairs. But what also has to be taken into consideration is how well the machine has been maintained within that time. However, if it’s relatively new and hasn’t had previous issues, repairing it might be a better choice.
-
Repair Costs: Consider the cost of repairs. If the repair is minor and significantly cheaper than replacement, fixing it makes sense. But repeated repairs can add up in terms of both cost and inconvenience. The Fix It Guy rule of thumb is you have exceeded more than 2 moderately significant repairs within a calendar year, and you are experiencing a 3rd potential problem is a RED FLAG.
-
Warranty: If your refrigerator is still under warranty, repairs (even major ones) might be covered by the manufacturer. Check if your fridge is eligible for warranty service by looking at the model label which is usually located on the interior wall of the refrigerator compartment. FYI, most model labels will be situated in a location that would be accessible without having to move the refrigerator itself.
Remember, a Fix It Guy can help you decide based on your specific situation. If you’re unsure, Book and appointment with us to make sure you are making the right decision.
