Repair or Replace? Utah Guide for Fridges, Washers & Dryers

A common rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a new comparable appliance and the unit is past mid-life, replacing often makes more sense.

Refrigerators: often last 10–15 years
Washers & dryers: often 10–13 years
Dishwashers: often around 9–12 years

Newer, higher-end units are usually worth repairing. Get a diagnosis before deciding.

FAQ

Should I repair a 12-year-old fridge?

It depends on the part. A fan or thermostat is often worth it; a sealed-system (compressor/refrigerant) repair on an older unit often is not.
