I am considering buying a used GE Monogram Refrigerator, (42" side by
side, worth lots when working) but it has a known bad compressor and
likely a Freon leak.

What would be best case to worst case estimate range for these repairs.

Example : 300 - 700

I would like several people to respond and that will give me a really
good feel of my total investment needed to get this refrigerator
working.

Thanks,
Tom

I can't give you any numbers, but I own one of those, and have done
just about everything except change the compressor. The sheer size of
the unit makes taking it to the shop questionable, so it would likely
need to be done on site. It shouldn't be all that much work though. The
compressor is on a removable tray, so much of the work is bench work.
Soldering it in would have to be done on a ladder unless the tech is 7'
tall. That leave vacuuming it out and charging it. Vacuuming it will
take some time, but if the tech will work with you, he can leave and
come back, preferably the next day. I'd guesstimate a maximum of 4
hours + parts

How much does it cost to get a whore in your neighborhood?

Appliance repairmen will usually give you a quote before they begin
work.
This is the avenue I would take if I were doing it.
