In the UAE’s fast-paced lifestyle, a malfunctioning appliance can feel like a crisis. But before you rush to replace it, consider this: up to 80% of appliance “failures” are repairable, often at a fraction of the cost of a new unit. At Electrolux Service Center UAE, we champion sustainable, cost-effective solutions to keep your appliances running longer—saving you money, reducing waste, and preserving performance.
Why Repair Instead of Replace?
1. Cost Savings
-
Example: Replacing a washing machine costs AED 2,500+ vs. a motor repair at AED 600.

UAE Fact: Extreme heat accelerates wear, but timely repairs can add 5–7 years to an appliance’s lifespan.
2. Environmental Impact
-
1.5 million appliances are discarded annually in the UAE, contributing to landfills.

Repairing reduces carbon footprints by up to 70% compared to manufacturing new units.
3. Preserve Functionality
