Choosing to repair or replace a household appliance is often determined by the following:

• Appliance age

• Cost of repairs

• Extent of the damage

Generally, it’s more cost-effective to replace an appliance if repair costs exceed 50% of the price of a new model.

It can also be difficult to get replacement parts for older models and the repair work can be complicated.

Upgrading an old appliance to a newer model can also reduce your electricity bills due to increased levels of energy efficiency.

Check if your appliance is covered by a warranty or guarantee before purchasing a new model. Many brands offer warranty packages that cover the cost of replacement parts and a repair engineer’s labour fees.
