So, what should you do when that washer overflows or your fridge isn’t keeping things cold anymore? Should you shell out the money to have it repaired or bite the bullet and buy a new machine?

Appliance Doctor Refrigerator Repair

Experts state the middle life span of the typical refrigerator is eight to fifteen years. The FTC Federal Trade Commission recommend going the way of repair if the repair cost is up to 30% of the replacement cost of a refrigerator. Things to keep in mind if you are considering replacement its often not just the physical unit you are paying for to have it replaced. There are most often additional fees involved for removing the old model particularly in high rise apartment complexes without service lifts.

Appliance Doctor Dishwasher Repair

When it comes to the decision on your dishwasher repair or replace the matrix is the same as the refrigerator. Dishwashers tend to have a ten to fifteen-year life expectancy. However, if the dishwasher has been repaired multiple times its most probably a better decision to opt for a replacement in this case.
