Repair vs. Replace — What’s the Right Move?
Not sure if you should repair your appliance or replace it?
We get this question every day — and at Don’s Appliances, we give you honest advice you can trust.
Here’s how we help you decide:
Do You Take The Time To Repair Your Appliance Or Just Throw It Away And Replace It?
When Repair Makes Sense:
✅ Your appliance is under 10 years old
✅ The repair cost is less than half the price of a new unit
✅ The issue is minor (like a bad seal, clogged drain, faulty switch, etc.)
✅ The appliance is a high-quality model that's built to last
In these cases, a professional repair can save you hundreds — and extend your appliance’s life by years.
When Replacement Might Be Smarter:
⚠️ The appliance is 10–15+ years old
⚠️ Major components are failing (like compressors or control boards)
⚠️ The repair cost is close to or higher than the price of a new one
⚠️ Newer models offer big improvements in energy savings or features
If replacement is the better option, we'll tell you — no pressure, no games.
Honest Advice You Can Trust
Our technicians will inspect your appliance, explain your options clearly, and recommend the most cost-effective solution — whether that's a repair or a replacement.
Your best interest always comes first.
