When to Repair and When to Replace Your Broken Fridge

When it comes to the most used appliances in your home, the refrigerator likely is sitting at the top of the list. Even if it isn’t, it undoubtedly one of the most important. If your fridge breaks, it’s an emergency. So how do you decide if you should replace that old fridge or get it repaired?

Things to Check Before You Do Anything

There could be a simple solution. While some of these seem obvious, you’d be surprised at what can happen.

  • Is it plugged in all the way?
  • Is the breaker tripped?
  • Are the air ducts clear?
  • Are the coils clogged?

When to Replace Your Fridge

If everything is looking good with the list above, there are a few ways we can determine that your fridge has seen its final days.

  • The freezer side no longer cools properly.
  • There is a defective compressor, which determined by a humming noise.
  • Repair costs are more than half that of a new fridge.
  • If the fridge is over 15 years old, replacing it will be worth it in the long run due to energy savings alone.

When to Repair Your Fridge

If it’s looking like you may save your fridge, we can do the final check by looking at a few key things.

  • The fresh food section no longer cools properly.
  • The fan is noisy.
  • It’s not making ice, dispensing water, or some other extra feature is not working properly.
  • The doors are not sealing as they should.

Of course, the best option is always to consult a professional when determining when it’s time to replace or repair. This will become essential as the cost will be part of the deciding factor in almost every case.
