Appliance Repair in 08059 · Bellmawr, Gloucester City & Mount Ephraim

When a refrigerator that has worked for many years stops cooling, the question is whether to repair it. The honest answer depends on what failed, how old the unit is, and how it has been running.

Some repairs are almost always worth it, even on older units: a failed evaporator or condenser fan, a defrost heater or timer, a start relay or a door gasket. These are relatively simple parts. Sealed system problems are a different matter. A failed compressor, a refrigerant leak or a restriction in the lines requires specialized work, and on an older refrigerator that cost can approach the price of a new one. Water and ice problems fall in between.

Other factors help you decide. A refrigerator that has needed several repairs recently may be near the end of its life. Older units often use more electricity than new ones, which matters over years of running. On the other hand, a well-built older refrigerator that fits your kitchen exactly may be worth keeping if the repair is reasonable. Our technician diagnoses the problem first, gives you a written estimate, and tells you plainly if replacement makes more sense. You decide; nothing is replaced without your approval.

Move perishables to coolers, clear the area in front of the refrigerator, and make room to pull it out from the wall. Write down how long the problem has been going on and any sounds you have noticed. Driveway or curb parking is usually easy in Mount Ephraim.
