How this calculator decides

It compares the repair estimate with replacement cost, then adjusts for age, warranty coverage, repeated failures, and safety. It does not predict how long an appliance will last.

Repair cost is only one part of the decision

Compare the estimate with replacement cost, appliance age, warranty coverage, safety, parts availability, prior failures, installation cost, and the expected reliability after repair. A low-cost repair can still be a poor choice when the fault is recurring or safety-related.
