Repair or Replace Your Freezer?
Most freezer repairs come down to one part and an hour or two of labor, which is why many are worth pricing before you shop for a new freezer. Published ranges:
- Thermostat replacement: $75–$300 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Compressor replacement: $400–$800 Source: HomeGuide - How much does freezer repair cost?
- Evaporator fan motor (defrost motor): $100–$440 Source: ConsumerAffairs - Cost to Repair a Freezer
- Technician labor: $100–$250 per hour Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a refrigerator?
For a newer built-in ice maker, replacing just the failed motor may be the best option, while on some older units a motor costs about as much as a new ice maker. Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair an ice maker?
