  Hey guys! My fridge is about 12 years old and still works, but I’m wondering how long refrigerators usually last before they’re no longer worth repairing. Is there a general lifespan for these appliances?

  Most refrigerators last about 10–15 years, but the exact lifespan depends on maintenance and usage. Cleaning condenser coils, keeping door seals tight, and not overloading the unit all help extend its life. Once repairs start piling up or the compressor shows signs of failure, replacement often makes more sense financially. The good news is that newer models are more energy-efficient, so an upgrade can cut power bills while improving performance.
