Compressor Costs. If popping in new overload and compressor relays doesn't restore your noisy refrigerator's cooling power, the compressor may be the culprit -- and it's a costly culprit, at that. While exact prices vary per brand and model, replacement compressors run from about $175 to $375, as of June 2015.
Edit Answer (for another -44 minute). Replacing a compressor shouldn't cost half the price of a new refrigerator. The most it should cost is one forth the price. The technician that recommended you to buy a new refrigerator probably didn't have the knowlege or tools to replace the compressor.
