Our service professionals conduct in-depth evaluations of your refrigerator prior to determining the most effective course of action for your unique residential refrigeration repair. Older refrigerators that surpass the estimated life expectancy for their specific make and model can become a nuisance, as refrigerator repair costs will continue to grow as they need more frequent repairs. Newer refrigerators often need only a quick fix in order to continue to run as they should for years to come.

What Can I Do to Extend My Refrigerator's Lifespan?

There are several key maintenance tactics you may follow in order to extend your refrigerator's lifespan while keeping it in optimal condition for as long as possible. Take the following steps to ensure your refrigerator lasts:

  • Have your refrigerator coils cleaned regularly to remove dust and debris
  • Be sure to provide at least two inches of space between your wall and your refrigerator’s motor to facilitate the right amount of airflow
  • Maintain your refrigerator’s door seals and clean any food or drink build-up that may accumulate with regular use

How Often Should You Repair or Replace an Old Fridge?

The lifespan of your refrigerator depends on usage, how thorough you are with maintenance, and the make and model of your refrigerator. Typically, refrigerators will last anywhere between 10 and 18 years, while freezers may last from 12 to 20 years. If your refrigerator is over 10 years old and continues to require residential refrigeration repair, or if your refrigerator is contributing to a high utility bill due to its lack of energy efficiency, it may be time to consider a refrigerator replacement.
