How to reduce refrigerator repair costs?
Use generic parts.

A new refrigerator costs around $2,000. For instance, repairing a compressor might cost about $800, with the part alone being no less than $550. What can you do? According to our expert repairers, generic parts are available at lower prices and compatible with many models. A generic refrigerator compressor, for example, can cost $150, saving you $400. This makes repairs more affordable.

Some repairers include these parts in their quotes. If not, ask your specialist about them.

DIY refrigerator repair.
On average, 40% of repair costs are labour-related. Thinking of doing the repair yourself? First, consult the instruction manual of the defective device. You might find a troubleshooting guide to identify the problem, along with instructions, precautions, and warnings.

However, be cautious. Attempting repairs yourself risks worsening the problem or causing damage (such as water damage). Some repairs are complex and risky, like those involving the refrigerant circuit, which should only be handled by a qualified repair technician. Conversely, repairing a washer or dishwasher pump might only involve unscrewing a few screws and disconnecting a hose. Remember, if you do the repair yourself, there’s no warranty on the work.

Before calling for help, ensure the issue isn’t due to a blown fuse, incorrect connection, or a crushed or blocked hose. A simple visual inspection and basic checks can save you from an unnecessary service call.

How do you know if a refrigerator repair is worth it?
Repairing your appliance extends its lifespan, reduces environmental impact, and often saves money. Here are some guidelines to determine if it's worth repairing:

• For appliances 10 years old or less, it’s usually worth fixing minor issues that cost less than $250 in parts and labour.
• If the estimate exceeds $250, calculate the appliance's residual value using a residual value calculator.
• If the repair cost is more than the residual value but doesn’t exceed it by more than $150, it’s worth doing.
