Repair or Replace? How to Decide When Your Appliance Breaks

Age of the Appliance

Most major appliances are designed to last roughly 10-15 years. The closer a unit is to that range, the more replacement starts to make sense.

Cost of Repair vs. Replacement Value

As a rule of thumb, if a repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit, replacement is usually the better value.

Frequency of Past Repairs

One repair on an otherwise reliable machine is normal. Repeated breakdowns on the same unit are a signal it may be time to consider replacing it.
