How to reduce Refrigerator repair costs?

Use generic parts

To acquire a new refrigerator, you have to pay around $2,000. Repairing a compressor, for example, will cost you around $800, including no less than $550 for the part alone. What to do? According to our expert repairers, there are generic parts offered at lower prices and compatible with many models. A generic refrigerator compressor, in particular, can cost $150, or a savings of $400. At this price, repairs become advantageous.

Some repairers also offer these parts to their customers in their quotes. Otherwise, ask your specialist for his opinion on the subject.

Refrigerator Repair yourself

On average, based on the repairs we have evaluated, 40% of the cost of the work is related to labour. Are you tempted to do the repair yourself? First consult the instruction manual of the defective device. You will probably find a troubleshooting guide that will allow you to identify the problem as well as indications, precautions and warnings to which you must comply.

Be careful, however, by trying to repair your appliance yourself, you take risks, in particular that of aggravating the problem or causing damage (water damage, for example). Moreover, some repairs are complex to perform and even contraindicated because of a risk of electric shock or because they require special precautions. For example, the refrigerant circuit of a refrigerator must be emptied in a safe manner, and only a qualified repairer can do this. In contrast, repairing the washer or dishwasher pump only requires unscrewing a few screws and dismantling a hose. Keep in mind, however, that if you do the repair yourself, you will not enjoy any warranty on it.

Finally, before asking for help, make sure that the problem is not due to a blown fuse, the wrong connection of the device or a crushed or blocked hose. A simple visual inspection and a few basic checks can save you from paying for a repairman's unnecessary trip.

How do you know if a refrigerator repair is worth the “cost”?

By repairing your appliance, you are choosing to extend its lifespan. By doing so, you reduce the environmental consequences of manufacturing a new device and disposing of the old one. And at the same time, you usually save a lot of money. To make sure it's the right decision to make, we've listed the most common issues. But what about the others? Here are the rules to follow to know if it is worth having the repairs carried out and putting in the time and money.

• For any appliance that is 10 years old or less, it is always advantageous to repair minor breakages that cost less than $250 in parts and labour.

• If the cost estimate is over $250, calculate the residual value of your appliance using our residual value calculator.

• If the repair costs more than the residual value, but does not exceed it by more than $150, it is worth having it done.
