Fridge just died... repair or replace?
Advertisements [?]
My old Frigidaire has apparently given up the ghost... it was a slow death over the past few months, which makes me think it might just be a slow freon leak. Didn't seem very efficient, but today it's just kind of stopped.

I bought it with the house and suspect it's probably 15 years old or so... any clue if it's cheaper to keep 'er, or am I a fool to plow money into fixing a 15 year old fridge?

I'm guessing a service call is going to be at least $50, plus probably $50 if they do a coolant recharge, and a compressor would probably be $250, I'd guess.

Looks like a new one is going to start around $800, probably $1200 for a good one.

Any suggestions?
