Frequently Asked Questions

How much does appliance repair cost?

Most appliance repairs cost $100–$500 including the service call. Simple fixes (belts, thermostats) cost $75–$200, while major repairs (compressors, motors) can cost $300–$800.

Is it worth repairing an old appliance?

The general rule: if the repair costs more than 50% of a new appliance and the unit is past half its expected lifespan, replacement is usually the better investment.

How long do major appliances last?

Average lifespans: refrigerators 14 years, dryers 13 years, washers 11 years, dishwashers 10 years, ovens 15 years, garbage disposals 10 years. Well-maintained appliances often exceed these averages.

Does brand affect repair costs?

Yes. Premium brands (Sub-Zero, Viking, Miele) cost 30–60% more to repair due to specialized parts and training requirements. Budget brands use widely available parts and are cheaper to service.

Should I buy an extended warranty?

Extended warranties rarely pay off — the average appliance repair costs less than the warranty. Instead, set aside $200–$300 in a home repair fund. Exception: high-end appliances where repairs are expensive.
