How much does refrigerator repair cost in San Diego?
It depends on the failed part. Evaporator fans, defrost thermostats, and door gaskets sit at the low end; sealed-system and compressor work at the top (national cost guides such as HomeGuide put a full compressor replacement at $700 to $1,250). The tech you're matched with diagnoses first and quotes in writing before any work starts.
Is it worth repairing a 10-year-old refrigerator?
Rule of thumb: if the repair is under half the cost of a replacement and the unit is under 12 years old, repair usually wins. High-end built-ins (Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador) are almost always worth repairing well past that, a repair is a fraction of what those units cost to replace.
