Can I sell a spoilt fridge in Singapore?

Most spoilt fridges in Singapore have very low resale value due to compressor issues, gas leaks or electrical damage. In many cases, disposal or recycling is more practical than trying to sell them.

What determines the junk value of a broken fridge?

The junk value depends on age, brand, condition, type of damage and usable parts like metal components or shelves. Severely damaged fridges typically have minimal recoverable value.

Many Singaporeans ask us the same question:

“Can I sell my spoilt fridge? Maybe it still has scrap value?”

The short answer: Usually no. Most defective fridges aren’t worth much and cost more to remove than they are worth.

Here’s the full guide to fridge disposal, resale, and recycling in Singapore.

We often receive messages like:

Why Junk Companies Don’t Buy Defective Fridges

At Junk Value, we get dozens of messages every week from customers looking to sell their spoilt fridges to us.

Here’s the honest truth: most people in Singapore don’t buy defective appliances, and here’s why

No Resale Value

Once a fridge short-circuits or stops cooling, it’s practically worthless in resale terms. Repair costs usually exceed what buyers are willing to pay.

Transport Costs Exceed Value

Disposing of a 100 kg fridge requires manpower, a truck and proper handling. That cost far outweighs the few dollars’ worth of metal you might recover.

Safety & Fire Risks

Short-circuited or gas-leaking fridges can be hazardous. That’s why professional junk removers focus on safe, legal removal, not resale.
