Common Failure Modes
Ice makers are notoriously prone to failure due to complex mechanical and thermal cycling. Control boards and compressor start relays are also common points of failure, often requiring professional diagnosis.

Refrigerators typically last 12 to 18 years. Simple top-freezer models tend to last longest. French door and side-by-side models with ice makers and water dispensers have more components that can fail. The compressor is the most expensive repair — if it fails after 10+ years, replacement is usually more economical.
