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>

How long should appliances last?

• <div><p>Typically, most appliances last anywhere from <b>10 to 15 years</b>, depending on the appliance, brand, and amount of use. Keeping a regular maintenance schedule, including cleaning and tune-ups, also helps appliances last longer. Dryers, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-should-it-cost-install-gas-stove-home-already-has-gas.htm">gas stoves</a>, and refrigerators tend to last the longest, averaging about 13 to 15 years. Microwaves and dishwashers tend to last about 10 years on average. </p></div>

Will I need to remove screws to remove the oven door?

• <div><p>Although some oven doors have screws in them that hold the handle or the glass in place, you should not remove these screws. Your oven’s hinges should pull loose without the need to remove the screws. If you are repairing your oven door, though, you may need to remove some screws.</p></div>
