- ntsplnkv2 9y agoIs it truly a gamble? Yes sometimes you fix something another thing breaks. But does that happen often enough to be a gamble?
- jobu 9y agoYes, repairing vs buying new is _always_ a gamble. The odds may be more or less in your favor depending on the age of the item. Take a look at the average life expectancy for appliances : https://www.mrappliance.com/expert-tips/appliance-life-guide/ https://www.mrappliance.com/expert-tips/appliance-life-guide... It's not always a binary choice though, in my case I actually ended up buying a used fridge off craigslist. I found one that was a bit of an upgrade, newer, and about the same cost as repair.
