The 50% Rule
A simple way to decide: if the repair cost is more than 50% of the cost of a new appliance, replacement is usually the better investment. If it’s less than 50%, repair almost always makes more financial sense.
Example: A new mid-range washing machine costs around $700. If the repair is $200–$300, fixing it is the smarter move.
Average Appliance Lifespan — Know Where Yours Stands
• Refrigerator: 13–17 years
• Washing Machine: 10–14 years
• Dryer: 10–13 years
• Dishwasher: 9–12 years
• Oven / Range: 13–15 years
• Microwave: 7–10 years
If your appliance is near the end of its expected lifespan and needs a major repair, replacement may be wiser. If it’s only a few years old, repair is almost always worth it.
