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>

Are scratches normal on stainless steel appliances?

• <div><p>If you have a stainless steel appliance and notice a scratch, your first instinct might be to panic. There’s no need to reconsider your appliance choices—minor scratches are an unfortunate but totally normal part of stainless steel wear-and-tear. </p><p>Stainless steel is practically rust-resistant, though if you have many hairline scratches (or a significant deep scratch), it is more likely to become discolored and potentially start to form rust if bacteria gets in the scratches. </p></div>

How do I dispose of other kitchen appliances?

• <div><p>When considering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-appliances.htm">how to dispose of other appliances</a>, a landfill is also usually not an option. The biggest difference is that electrical appliances like refrigerators, washing machines, or dishwashers aren’t as easy to transport as a portable microwave. Some local councils offer bulky uplift services (although a fee may apply), scrap metal recyclers might pick yours up, trade-in options on big items are more common, and some utility companies offer incentivized recycling programs.</p></div>

I didn't think the service man would be able to save my old dryer! But he replaced parts inside and even the door hinge. This work saved me from having to buy a new dryer, which would be impossible for me at this time. Thank you Raleigh Appliance Service. You do great work.

I purchased a refrigerator in Dec of 2014, it was not working correctly. I had it replaced with another refrigerator, and the technician came out twice, and the refrigerator still ran horribly. I will never purchase any appliance from this company ever again. They sale second hand junk...

I could have worked with someone for a lesser price. But I had a bathroom put in by somebody and the whole job was messed up. I had to get someone to finish that work. I went to his showroom. He had all main brand appliances and his prices were good.

The sales person was pleasant and was able to entertain our various needs, yet still focus us down on important matters and decision points. I was never too convinced on pricing because the sales pitch forces your behavior a bit; but, I knew this going in. I needed carpet ASAP and Empire Today...
