Should I replace or repair an old appliance?

• <div><p>It depends. Use the “50% rule” to help you decide. For example, you should consider replacing the appliance if it is halfway through its lifespan and the repair will cost more than 50% of the price of a new one. Contrary to popular belief, repairing a major appliance is more wallet-friendly than purchasing a new one. While the cost of new home <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-do-home-appliances-cost.htm">appliances</a> can run as high as $8,000, the average cost to repair them is $170. If the appliance you’re trying to get rid of isn’t too old, consult a local <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/appliance-repair-companies/">appliance repair expert</a> to see what can be done to restore it.</p></div>

Is it worth it to repair an appliance?

• <div><p>In most cases, the repair is worth the value as it should help maintain the life of the appliance for a longer period, and the repair should be a lower cost than replacing the entire unit. For example, if the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-refrigerator-repair-cost.htm">cost to repair your refrigerator</a> will be more than 50% of the cost to buy a new one, and it’s 10 years old or more, then it may not be worth repairing. </p></div>

Do you need to prepare appliances before removal?

• <div><p>If a junk removal company or scrap hauler is taking your old appliances, you’ll just need to make sure they’re empty and disconnected before removal. If you’re bringing them to a disposal site yourself, check the site’s guidelines to find out if you need to take any steps to prepare your appliances first, particularly if the appliance uses refrigerants.</p></div>

Appliance Sales questions, answered by experts

Many refrigerators have a dial with numbers ranging from 1 to 5 or 1 to 10, with the lower numbers representing colder temperatures and the higher numbers representing higher temperatures. For a fridge with a dial that goes up to 5, most homeowners find 3 or 4 to be the ideal temperature setting, and 6 to 8 is usually best if yours goes up to 10. It’s a good idea to get a fridge thermometer to monitor your fridge temperature, as not all appliances are the same, and internal thermometers aren’t always entirely accurate.

It depends. Use the “50% rule” to help you decide. For example, you should consider replacing the appliance if it is halfway through its lifespan and the repair will cost more than 50% of the price of a new one. Contrary to popular belief, repairing a major appliance is more wallet-friendly than purchasing a new one. While the cost of new home appliances can run as high as $8,000, the average cost to repair them is $170. If the appliance you’re trying to get rid of isn’t too old, consult a local appliance repair expert to see what can be done to restore it.

In most cases, the repair is worth the value as it should help maintain the life of the appliance for a longer period, and the repair should be a lower cost than replacing the entire unit. For example, if the cost to repair your refrigerator will be more than 50% of the cost to buy a new one, and it’s 10 years old or more, then it may not be worth repairing.

If you’re bringing them to a disposal site yourself, check the site’s guidelines to find out if you need to take any steps to prepare your appliances first, particularly if the appliance uses refrigerants.
