Refrigerator and Freezer Repair

refrigerator-freezers with a top freezer are also economically better replaced after seven years because new models are much more energy-efficient. however, homeowners should still compare the repair price versus replacement. the average repair price range is $230 – $300. though the actual price will depend on the repair required, the brand, and the local labor cost. if you hear clicking buzzing, or humming noises or the fridge does not cool, you might have a faulty compressor. these parts are usually $20 – $200. the most common repairs relate to automatic ice makers and cost between $200 and $350 to repair.

Built-in refrigerator-freezers are almost always cheaper to repair than replace. it is often difficult to find another the same size so the replacement might require repairs to surrounding walls, floors, and ceilings. consumer reports suggests replacing a refrigerator if the repair price is more than half the price of a new one, or the unit is more than ten years old.
