Fridge on the Fritz? Here's How to
Choose Between Refrigerator Repair
and Refrigerator Replacement
• There are merits and demerits of each choice. For refrigerator repair, you
can either choose to do it yourself or employ the services of an appliance
repair technician who specializes in making sure broken parts of
refrigerators are up and running. Refrigerator repair is a more cost-
efficient choice than buying an entirely new one. However, when it comes
to repairs, the presence of at least one qualified person is required. And if
you’re considering the do-it-yourself option, this might pose a challenge
despite the fact that it will save you on repair cost. However, you can
worsen the problem particularly if you don’t have basic knowledge about
refrigerator repairs service. Such a challenge involves having to spend
long hours studying repair manuals thus cutting your spare time and
disrupting weekend plans. The best option, in this case, is to hire an
appliance repair technician whose services you have to pay for.
• Alternatively, the refrigerator could be replaced altogether. This option is
usually taken by homeowners when they perceive that the refrigerator in
question is either obsolete or that it is worn out (thus once such a
refrigerator is repaired, other problems are sure to come up leading to
subsequent repairs within a short period of time). Replacement is a fair
choice especially when the refrigerator has outlived its usefulness f more
than 10 years.
