Repair or replace your refrigerator?
A simple rule of thumb: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new unit and the appliance is near the end of its life, replacement may make more sense.
A refrigerator typically lasts – and costs $1,400–$2,800 to replace — so most faults under about $450 are worth fixing. We'll always tell you honestly when a repair isn't worth your money.
Keep your refrigerator running
Simple habits that prevent the most common Brampton repairs.
- Vacuum the condenser coils once a year — the single biggest cause of avoidable repairs.
- Keep a 2-inch gap behind and above the fridge so it can shed heat.
- Change the water filter every 6 months to protect the icemaker and dispenser.
- Check the door gaskets seal fully; replace them as soon as they tear or harden.
- Keep the freezer at -18°C and don't block the interior vents with food.
- Clear the defrost drain once a year to prevent leaks.
