If your fridge isn&#8217;t cooling properly, it could be due to a thermostat issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is it worth fixing a fridge?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes, it&#8217;s often worth fixing a fridge if the cost of repair is significantly less than the cost of buying a new one. However, if your fridge is older and frequently breaking down, it might be more cost-effective to replace it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What&#8217;s the average lifespan of a fridge or freezer?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The average lifespan of a fridge or freezer is around 10-15 years. However, with regular maintenance and timely repairs, they can last even longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can I perform fridge or freezer repairs myself?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>While minor issues like cleaning a clogged drain can be handled by yourself, it&#8217;s best to leave most repairs to professionals. Incorrect repairs can lead to further damage or even safety risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How quickly can I get my fridge or freezer repaired?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our Local Pros partners strive to provide speedy service. In most cases, they will try to diagnose and repair your appliance on the same day or within a few days, depending on the complexity of the issue and the availability of parts.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"brxe-thdwdp\" class=\"brxe-div quote-button\"><span id=\"brxe-gymdaj\" class=\"brxe-button cta-button box-shadow--m a-button-hover btn--action bricks-button bricks-background-primary\" data-interactions=\"[{&quot;id&quot;:&quot;gthral&quot;,&quot;trigger&quot;:&quot;click&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:&quot;show&quot;,&quot;target&quot;:&quot;popup&quot;,&quot;templateId&quot;:&quot;42471&quot;}]\" data-interaction-id=\"16196d\"><i class=\"fa fa-hand-point-right\"><\/i>Get Quote<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":23417,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[584],"tags":[],"service_category":[632],"acf":[],"rank_math_description":"Unsure about fridge and freezer repair costs?
