Dishwashers and washing machines require repair most frequently—typically every 3-5 years of regular use. Water exposure causes seal degradation and pump failures

Refrigerator Repair
A refrigerator that stops cooling puts hundreds of dollars of food at risk and requires immediate attention. We provide urgent response for refrigerator failures to minimize food spoilage and get your fridge working properly again.
What is the most expensive thing to fix on a refrigerator?
The compressor is the costliest repair at $400-$800. For refrigerators over 10 years old, compressor failure often justifies replacement. For newer models, repair usually makes financial sense.
Other Appliances
We also repair ranges, ovens, microwaves, garbage disposals, and select small appliances. All major brands serviced.
Is It Worth Getting Appliances Repaired?
Yes, in most cases. Repairing appliances is worth it when the appliance is less than halfway through its expected lifespan and repair costs less than 50% of the replacement price.
When Repair Makes Sense
When Replacement Makes Sense:
What Is the Average Life of an Appliance?
Expected lifespans help you make informed repair decisions. Here’s what you can typically expect from major appliances:
|
Appliance |
Average Lifespan (Years) |
Repair If Under (years) |
|---|---|---|
|
Refrigerator |
10 – 15 |
8 |
|
Washer |
10 – 15 |
7 |
|
Dryer |
10 – 12 |
7 |
|
Dishwasher |
9 – 12 |
6 |
|
Range/Oven |
13 – 15 |
8 |
Is It Worth Fixing a 7 Year Old Fridge?
Usually yes. A 7-year-old refrigerator is roughly halfway through its expected lifespan. Repair makes sense if costs stay under $600 (about half of a $1,200 replacement) and the issue is a repairable component like a relay, fan, or thermostat.
Consider replacement if the compressor failed ($600-$1,000 repair) or if it’s an energy-inefficient pre-2015 model.
Our Honest Assessment Promise
We’ll tell you if replacement is the smarter choice. Upfront pricing means you decide without pressure.
What Is the 50% Rule for Appliance Repair?
The 50% rule helps you decide: If repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost AND the appliance is past 50% of its expected lifespan, replacement usually makes more financial sense.
Example 1: Repair
Example 2: Replace
This is a guideline, not rigid rule. Energy efficiency, brand quality, and your budget also matter.
