Appliance repair in Bluffdale, UT

It could be, even after the first year, especially a fridge. LG and Samsung cover a new fridge for one year and its sealed cooling system for five, parts and labor. Their inverter compressors are covered for up to 10 years on parts. Terms vary by model, and warranty repairs go through the maker, so call them first with the model and serial number. Your builder’s paperwork may list the appliances that came with the house.

It can be. Bluffdale’s water averaged 189 mg/L in the city’s 2024 report, which the U.S. Geological Survey calls very hard. The USGS says heated hard water leaves scale that can shorten the life of equipment, and spots or film on dishes. Whirlpool says mineral buildup, especially in hard water areas, can block a fridge’s water line. It also says white flecks in ice are minerals, normal where water is hard. Three habits help. Set your dishwasher’s water hardness setting, if it has one. Change the fridge’s water filter every six months or sooner, as Whirlpool advises. And keep the ice maker off softened water, which Whirlpool says can damage it.

Bluffdale’s curbside trash can is for household garbage, so take an old appliance to Salt Lake County’s landfill. It charges $20 for each fridge, freezer or other unit with refrigerant, which it removes before recycling. That’s on top of $17 for a car or pickup load. It’s open Monday to Saturday, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m.
