1. Air conditioner compressor
The compressor is an important part of an air conditioner and is in charge of transporting refrigerant between the evaporator and condenser coils.
The compressor, which functions as the air conditioner’s engine, pushes refrigerant through the system, heating or cooling your home as you wish.
I’m sorry to disappoint you, but replacing this part of your air conditioner unit can cost between $1,500 and $2,000 while replacing your device costs around $5,500.
If your AC unit is from a popular brand, it’s more likely going to be expensive to change, so you should decide if you want to completely change your device (especially if it’s old and barely working) or just replace your faulty part.
2. Clothes dryer motor
There aren’t many more frustrating things in life when it comes to appliances, but one thing that can drive you crazy is when you put your wet clothes in the dryer, and when you couldn’t be more excited to take them all warm and cozy, you notice that they’re just as wet as in the beginning. Probably smelly too.
This type of unfortunate thing happens when the motor on the dryer fails or wears out, and it’s a problem that should be addressed ASAP. Replacing a dryer motor isn’t cheap; you could pay about $350 to $400 for an electric dryer and up to $450 for a gas dryer.
Without a motor to generate the force to rotate your dryer drum and run the blower to make your clothes dry and hot, your device is absolutely useless.
3. Smart Microwave Door
This is a tricky one, and you’ll see why in a couple of seconds. You might expect the motor, the control board, and the electronic display to be expensive appliance parts, but the door of your microwave is pretty expensive to replace too.
If you’re unfortunate enough for this part of your gadget to fail, you might need to pay around $200 to $500 to change it. However, the good thing about this is that you don’t need a professional to take care of this job for you because replacing the door of your microwave oven can be done with DIY. But be careful with it!
