Deciding whether to service or replace an older appliance depends on several factors. If the appliance is relatively new and the issues are minor, it might be more economical to have it serviced. However, if the appliance is very old, has multiple problems, or requires major overhauls, replacing it could be a more practical option. Consider the cost of a new appliance compared to the estimated cost of repairs over time. Additionally, a newer model might offer improved features and energy efficiency, possibly offsetting the initial cost.
