How long should your appliance actually last?
Median U.S. service-call benchmarks.
Most appliance repairs in the U.S. range from $150 to $450 including labor and parts. Refrigerator and built-in oven repairs trend higher; small-appliance repairs are usually under $200.
A common rule: if the repair costs more than 50% of replacement AND the appliance is past 60% of its expected lifespan, replacement is usually the better long-term value.
Refrigerators 13 years, washers 11, dryers 13, dishwashers 10, microwaves 9, ovens and ranges 15. See the lifespan database for full details.
