REPAIR OR REPLACE?
IS YOUR REFRIGERATOR WORTH REPAIRING?
Refrigerators are expensive to replace, so repair is usually the economical choice — especially for built-in and high-end units. Cooling problems are often a fan, thermostat, defrost component, or compressor relay. If yours is under 12 years old (or a premium built-in at almost any age), repair typically wins. We'll give you a straight answer either way.
KEEP IT RUNNING
REFRIGERATOR CARE & MAINTENANCE TIPS
Vacuum the condenser coils
Dusty coils make the fridge work harder — clean them twice a year.
Check the door seals
A weak gasket lets cold escape; test with a dollar bill in the door.
Don't overpack
Leave room for airflow so cold circulates evenly.
Set the right temps
Aim for 37°F fridge / 0°F freezer for efficiency and food safety.
