Should you repair or replace your refrigerator?
Refrigerators last 13–17 years on average. If your refrigerator is under 10 years old, repair is almost always worth it — even a compressor replacement at $400 is far less than a comparable new unit at $900–$2,500. For refrigerators over 12–15 years old with a compressor or sealed-system failure, replacement may make more financial sense. We give honest assessments every time.
At Denver's Best Appliance Repair, we always give you an honest recommendation. We will tell you when replacement makes more financial sense than repair — and we'll never push a repair that isn't in your best interest.
