🔄 When to Repair vs. Replace Your Refrigerator

Is Your Fridge Worth Fixing? (Abilene Cost Comparison Guide)
Rule of Thumb:
If repair costs over 50% of a new fridge’s price (~$1,000+), replacement usually makes more sense.

💰 Repair Costs vs. New Prices

Common Issue	Avg. Repair Cost	New Fridge Price
Thermostat Replacement	150−150−300	800−800−2,500
Compressor Failure	500−500−1,000+	800−800−2,500
Seal/Gasket Replacement	200−200−400	800−800−2,500

*Note: Labor rates in Abilene average 90−90−120/hour*

🚩 5 Signs You Need a Replacement

1. Over 10 years old (New models use 40% less energy)
2. Frequent breakdowns (2+ repairs/year = money pit)
3. Rust or cracked shelves (Indicates moisture damage)
4. Runs constantly (Spiking your TXU electric bill)
5. Freezer won’t stay below 0°F (Food safety risk)

🔧 DIY Troubleshooting Tips

“Quick Fixes to Try Before Calling a Pro (Save Time & Money!)”

Before scheduling a repair, try these simple solutions Abilene homeowners often overlook:

🔌 Power Reset (Solves 30% of Issues!)

1. Unplug fridge for 5 minutes
2. Plug back in → Listen for compressor hum
3. Wait 4 hours to see if temps stabilize

“Many modern fridges just need a ‘hard reset’ like your phone!” – Mike, Lead Technician

🚪 Door Seal Test (Free & Fast!)

1. Dollar bill test: Close it on a bill – if pulls out easily, seals are weak
2. Clean seals: Wipe with vinegar/water (sticky residue causes leaks)
3. Check alignment: Doors should close flush without gaps

Pro Tip: A broken seal can waste $150+/year in energy costs!

🌡️ Temperature Checks

• Ideal temps:
  • Fridge: 37°F
  • Freezer: 0°F
• Adjust thermostat if temps are off by +10°F

🧊 Frost Buildup? Try This:

1. Unplug fridge
2. Place towels to catch water
3. Let thaw for 6-8 hours
4. Reload food and monitor

⚠️ Warning: If frost returns within 2 weeks, you likely have a defrost system failure (needs pro repair).
