Repair Or Replace: Which Is Better?

 

After identifying the reason why the appliance is broken, the repair professional will provide an estimate of the cost of repairs so that the appliance owner can make a decision. In case the repairs are inexpensive and the appliance is new, repairs are usually preferred. However, if the appliance is used for many years, the cost of repairs will usually be high, since more parts are likely to be damaged, and the replacement parts are more expensive.
