Repair or Replace? The Rules We Use
Greenville Appliance Repair won't push a repair that doesn't make sense. These are the four rules we actually use on every service call to give you a straight repair-or-replace recommendation.
50% rule
If the repair costs less than half the price of a new appliance, repair almost always wins.
Age rule
If the appliance is under 75% of its expected lifespan (e.g. < 11 yrs for a 15-year fridge), repair is usually smart.
Repeat-failure rule
If the same component has already failed twice, the underlying part is overdue for an upgrade — replace it, not just patch it.
Energy-cost rule
Refrigerators 15+ years old can use 2–3× the electricity of new ENERGY STAR units. Sometimes replacement pays for itself in 3–5 years.
Brand-Specific Cost Notes
Whirlpool, Maytag, KitchenAid & Amana
The most repair-friendly family of brands in Greenville. Parts cross over between brands, and most failures are bolt-on swaps. Typical: $150–$450. Built-in KitchenAid models can hit $600 but are almost always worth repairing given replacement cost.
GE, GE Profile, GE Cafe & Hotpoint
Reliable platforms, parts widely available. Typical: $150–$450. GE Profile refrigerator ice makers are the single most common job we run on this brand.
LG & LG Studio
Typical: $150–$500. LG direct-drive motors carry long manufacturer warranties — Greenville Appliance Repair always checks warranty status before quoting parts. Note: we don't perform sealed-system (compressor / refrigerant) work; for those repairs we'll refer you to an LG-authorized sealed-system tech.
Samsung & Samsung Bespoke
Typical: $150–$500. Samsung French-door ice makers are notoriously prone to freezing — there is a known fix and we keep the assembly on the truck.
