How expensive is it to repair a refrigerator?

In the case of minor defects, the costs normally lie between 200 and 400 francs, while major repairs can cost 400 to 800 francs.

What is broken if the refrigerator no longer cools?
If the refrigerator no longer cools properly, this can be due to a number of different causes. For example, the electronics or thermostat may be broken, the compressor may be damaged or a problem could lie with the coolant. In any case, an expert should be contacted for the repairs.

Can a refrigerator be repaired without an expert?
In principle, this is possible, but this may invalidate the guarantee of the refrigerator if it has not yet expired. Moreover, it is important to note that work on electronic components requires training in the electrical field (connection qualification according to NIV Art. 15). As already mentioned, however, minor repairs such as replacing the light bulb or door sealing can easily be performed by a layperson.

Can a refrigerator break suddenly?
Unfortunately, yes. Appliances often give up the ghost at inopportune moments. The SIBIRGroup endeavours to get broken refrigerators working again as quickly as possible. But this also depends on the delivery availability of the necessary replacement parts.
