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.
