Appliance Repair in 08010 · Willingboro, Burlington & Bordentown

A refrigerator, range or washer that has run for fifteen or twenty years is not automatically finished. Older mechanical models are often simpler to fix than newer ones loaded with electronics, and a range with a worn bake element or a dryer with a broken belt can go on for years after an inexpensive repair. The question is whether the repair you need now is the last one for a while.

A few signs point toward replacing. A refrigerator with a sealed-system failure, such as a refrigerant leak or a failed compressor, is usually a costly repair on an older unit. A washer with a cracked outer tub or a failed transmission on an old top-loader may cost more than it is worth. Rust through a dishwasher tub or the floor of an oven cavity is also hard to justify fixing.

Other problems are routinely worth repairing: igniters, thermostats, door gaskets, pumps, valves, belts and fan motors. The technician will tell you which group your problem falls into, give you a written estimate, and leave the decision to you without pressure either way. If parts for an older model are no longer available, we will say so.

Find the model and serial number before the visit; the serial number often reveals the manufacture date. Note how long you have had the appliance and any past repairs. If you are already leaning toward replacement, say so, and we will focus on whether the repair makes financial sense.
