The Truth About Appliance Repair: Repair or Replace?

Should You Repair Your Appliance or Buy a New One?

It’s a common question: when your washing machine, tumble dryer, or oven breaks, should you repair it or replace it? The answer depends on a few key factors.

When to Repair Your Appliance

• Your appliance is less than 10 years old.
• The repair cost is less than 50% of the price of a new machine.
• The issue is minor, like a blocked filter or broken door seal.

When to Replace Your Appliance

• Your machine is over 10–15 years old.
• It keeps breaking down frequently.
• The repair cost is almost as much as a new one.
