Standard refrigerators should not be installed where temperatures drop below about 60°F or exceed 110°F; cold thickens compressor oil and heat can break it down and damage the sealed system. Source: GE Appliances - Refrigerator Installation Location and Temperature
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:
- Evaporator fan motor (defrost motor): $100–$440 Source: ConsumerAffairs - Cost to Repair a Freezer
- Control board replacement: $300–$650 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Thermostat replacement: $75–$300 Source: Fixr - How much does it cost to repair a freezer?
- Diagnostic fee (often credited toward the repair): $60–$100 per visit Source: HomeAdvisor - How Much Does Refrigerator Repair Cost?
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?
