Repair or Replace Decision Guide

When facing significant refrigerator issues, you may wonder whether repair or replacement is more economical. Here's what to consider:

Age Factors

  • Under 5 years: Repair is typically the most cost-effective option for refrigerators in this age range

  • 5-10 years: Repairs may still be worthwhile, especially for higher-end Maytag models

  • Over 10 years: Depending on the repair needed, replacement might be more practical for older units

Cost Considerations

Typical Maytag refrigerator repairs range from $200 to $500, depending on the specific issue and parts required. As a general rule, repair is usually more economical when:

  • The repair cost is less than 50% of a new refrigerator's price

  • The problem is isolated to one specific component

  • The refrigerator is otherwise in good condition

Performance Evaluation

Consider repair when:

  • Only one specific function is affected

  • The refrigerator still meets your storage needs

  • It matches your other kitchen appliances

Consider replacement when:

  • Multiple systems are failing

  • Energy efficiency has significantly improved in newer models

  • You need features not available on your current model

Our refrigerator repair technicians can provide an honest assessment to help you make the best decision for your situation.
