# Miele refrigerator sealed system repair cost

### Why it is last

Because every cheaper cause of “it is not cold” produces the same complaint, and they are far more likely. This page exists for what is left after they are gone.

### What is in the figure

Recovery, the repair itself, evacuation and a charge by weight to the plate. Not a top-up, because a sealed system does not consume refrigerant.

What moves this figure

Compressor $600–$1,200; leak repair $400–$900

Only quoted after the cheaper causes are excluded on record

Recovered, repaired, evacuated and charged by weight

Leak or compressor

Finding the leak is part of the work. A recharge without it is a repair with a date on it.

Built-in or free-standing

On a panel-ready column the alternative to repair is cabinetry work rather than a delivery, which changes the arithmetic.

The cabinet's age

There are units where this is not worth its cost, and you get the reasoning rather than the work.

### Someone offered to top it up cheaply.

A sealed system that is low has leaked. Refilling without finding the leak buys months and costs the same again.

### Is it worth it on a built-in column?

More often than on a free-standing unit, because replacing one means cabinetry, an opening cut for a specific appliance, and a panel that may no longer be made.
