Fridge Repair FAQs

Is It Cheaper to Repair or Replace a Refrigerator?

Seeing if your refrigerator can be repaired is a terrific way to save some money. When weighing the options to repair or replace, you can consider the repair costs and age of your fridge. Ultimately, if the cost of repair is half as much as buying a new model, you should likely consider replacing your unit.

• Repair Costs vs. Replacement Costs - If the repair costs are more than half the cost of new fridge, it'll probably be more cost-effective to buy a new fridge. We can help you weigh those options once we've diagnosed your fridge.
• Your Refrigerator's Life Expectancy - Something else to consider are refrigerators' life expectancy. The life expectancy of the average refrigerator is around 10 to 20 years. If your refrigerator is on the younger end, under ten years old, it's likely better to repair the fridge than buying a brand new one.

When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Refrigerator?

If you decide to replace your refrigerator, consider that there are always deals and sales throughout the year that might make your new purchase much more affordable. For example, September and October tend to be the best months to buy large appliances, since manufacturers tend to release new models during this time. Older models will be discounted to make room for the newer models, which will make them more desirable to purchase.

What is Wrong with a Refrigerator Not Cooling?

Before stressing out that your fridge is broken, here are a few things you can check!

• Check Power Connections - make sure your fridge is plugged in and/or make sure the breaker isn't tripped.
• Check the Thermostat - make sure the temperature settings weren't accidentally changed.
• Overloaded Fridge - if you've stuffed your fridge to the brim with food, beverages, and other items, your cool air vent can get blocked which can also result in a warm fridge. Simply toss out items you don't need and try avoiding storing too much food like this in the future!
• Check Your Condenser Coils - your fridge's condenser coils are responsible for cooling and condensing the refrigerant which keeps your fridge cold. Condenser coils that are covered with dirt, dust, and other debris do not efficiently release heat which will result in your fridge getting warm. Here are the steps for cleaning your condenser coils; locate the condenser coils which are either behind your fridge or underneath towards the front, remove any access panels, use a coil cleaning brush and/or vacuum to remove the dust, dirt, and debris and put the access panels back on

Here's a helpful video which show you how to clean your condenser coils:

Should I Try Repairing My Fridge On My Own Or Call The Pros?

Sometimes repairing a fridge can be done on your own, depending on what's causing the problem. For example, if your refrigerator is leaking onto the floor, you could have an issue with the defrost drain. Sometimes the defrost drain hose gets blocked by a buildup of debris and food particles. If you can clear the drain with a long pipe cleaner or another instrument, that might solve the problem.

Other issues, such as a noisy refrigerator, can be fixed by unplugging the unit and vacuuming the condenser coils, which collect a lot of dust over the years. If a good cleaning doesn't solve the issue, it might be time to call an experienced Naples refrigerator repair expert.

How Much Does It Cost to Repair a Refrigerator?

The cost of repairing a refrigerator ultimately depends on the problem. For example, replacing a thermostat tends to be a quick and straightforward process, so it'll be on the lower end of the spectrum. However, if your ice maker needs repair, that tends to be a more time-consuming and complicated process, so it’ll be on the higher end of the cost spectrum.

Before calling a Naples appliance repair professional, you should also determine whether the refrigerator repair cost is covered by your home warranty or the manufacturer's warranty. Both warranties can sometimes cover the cost of repairing or even replacing the entire unit if the refrigerator is not fixable.
