How long should each appliance actually last?

Very few companies in this trade will put a price anywhere a customer can read it before a technician is standing in the kitchen. The reason is not complicated, and publishing ours costs us that advantage deliberately.

Parts and labor together, per appliance

  • Refrigerator, outside the sealed system: $170 to $410. Fans, defrost circuits, valves, boards.
  • Refrigerator, sealed system: considerably higher, and it depends entirely on where the leak is.
  • Washer: $165 to $390. Pumps and valves at the bottom, bearings at the top.
  • Dryer: $160 to $340. Elements, thermostats, rollers and belts.
  • Dishwasher: $170 to $390, and higher when the machine is integrated.
  • Oven and range: $175 to $440. Igniters and sensors at the low end, control boards at the high.

What moves a price

Access. A stacked laundry pair in a hall closet, or a column refrigerator in fitted cabinetry, is time at each end before anybody touches a part.

The equipment. Professional and imported machines carry dearer parts, and some of them are a special order rather than a shelf item.

Which part. A thermostat and a control board are the same half hour of work and nothing like each other on the invoice. The biggest single variable on this page.

When you call. Work outside scheduled hours costs more, because somebody is being paid to be out at ten at night. Scheduled weekend appointments are not charged differently.

What does not move

The price you signed off. If we open something and find a second problem behind the first, the tools go down and you get a phone call rather than a longer invoice.

All of it is set out on the pricing page. Call (847) 555-0142 for a price on your own machine.
