Is your compressor faulty, or is the temperature control on the fritz? Broken shelves, perhaps? Appliance Repair Shymon can help you decide if it's worth repairing your fridge based on the damage, parts, and labour costs.

Wondering why your fridge isn't cooling? Here are some common reasons. If you want to troubleshoot, check these possibilities one by one. Otherwise, let a qualified repair person diagnose and fix the issue.

Reason 1: The electrical outlet isn’t working. Check if your fridge light is on or plug another appliance into the outlet to see if that's the problem.

Reason 3: The temperature control is broken. It needs replacement.

Part cost: from $210, Labour: $100, Total: $310.

How to reduce refrigerator repair costs?

Use generic parts.

Buying a new fridge costs around $2,000. Repairing a compressor, for example, is about $800, with the part alone costing no less than $550. What can you do? According to our expert repairers, generic parts are available at lower prices and are compatible with many models. A generic fridge compressor can cost $150, saving you $400. This makes repairs much more affordable.

Some repairers include these parts in their quotes. If not, ask your specialist about it.

Do-it-yourself fridge repair.

On average, 40% of repair costs are labour-related. Thinking of doing the repair yourself? First, consult the instruction manual of the defective device. You might find a troubleshooting guide to identify the problem and instructions, precautions, and warnings.

Be cautious, though. Trying to fix the appliance yourself risks worsening the problem or causing damage (like water damage). Some repairs are complex and risky, such as those involving the refrigerant circuit, which should only be handled by a qualified repairer. In contrast, repairing a washer or dishwasher pump might just involve unscrewing a few screws and disconnecting a hose. Keep in mind that if you do the repair yourself, there’s no warranty on the work.

Before calling for help, ensure the issue isn't a blown fuse, a wrong connection, or a crushed or blocked hose. A simple visual inspection and basic checks can save you from an unnecessary service call.

How do you know if a fridge repair is worth it?

Repairing your appliance extends its lifespan, reduces environmental impact, and often saves money. Here are some guidelines to determine if it's worth repairing:

• For appliances 10 years old or less, it's usually worth fixing minor issues that cost less than $250 in parts and labour.
• If the estimate is over $250, calculate the appliance's residual value using a residual value calculator.
• If the repair cost exceeds the residual value by no more than $150, it's worth doing.
