What a used fridge freezer is worth by condition
Condition does more to the price than anything else. These figures are worked from the top of the range for fridge freezers, so treat them as a starting point and adjust for the specifics of yours.
| Condition | Typical price | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| New with Tags | £350 | Unused, tags or seals intact |
| Like New | £297 | Barely used, no visible wear |
| Good | £227 | Light signs of use, complete and working |
| Fair | £157 | Heavily used, or a described fault or missing part |
| For Parts | £87 | Not working or incomplete, sold as seen |
These are the five grades WishThrift listings use, and sellers set the grade themselves — see what each condition grade means. Figures are shown in pounds as a reference point. On WishThrift prices display in your own currency, and sellers set their own asking price.
What raises the value of a fridge freezer
- Recent models with better energy ratings
- Clean seals with no perishing or mould
- Frost-free operation working correctly
- All shelves, salad drawers and door bins present
What lowers it
- Failing door seals, which let in warm air
- Compressors that run constantly or cycle noisily
- Missing shelves and drawers, which are model-specific
- Ice build-up on a frost-free model, indicating a fault
How to work out what yours is worth
- Run it for a day and check both compartments reach temperature
- Close the door on a sheet of paper and check the seal grips it
- Count the shelves, drawers and door bins against the manual
Once you have those three answers you can place your own fridge freezer on the table above with reasonable confidence. If it sits between two rows, price it toward the lower one — items priced honestly sell faster than items priced hopefully.

Frequently asked questions
Is a used fridge freezer worth selling?
Yes if it runs properly, though the sums are modest. Buyers care most about seals, temperature and whether all the shelves are there.
How do I test the door seal?
Close the door on a sheet of paper and pull. If it slides out easily the seal has perished, which lets warm air in and drives up running costs.
Who moves a fridge freezer?
The buyer, almost always. Say in the listing whether it is upstairs and whether it has been transported upright.
