All figures below are national typical ranges from HomeGuide's 2026 guide, not local quotes:
| Appliance | Typical repair cost (HomeGuide, 2026) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Washing machine | $100 – $400 | Bearings, pump, shock absorbers, lid switch, or drive belt; a new washer runs $700 – $1,300 for the unit alone |
| Dryer | $100 – $300 | Heating element, thermal fuse, belt, or start switch; drum or control board replacement can reach $500 with parts and labor |
| Refrigerator | $125 – $500 | Fan motors and door fixes; compressor replacement is separate at $700 – $1,250 |
| Freezer | $100 – $400 | Fan motor or start relay; coil or compressor work can approach the price of a new freezer |
| Oven | $150 – $350 | Igniter, heating elements, or control board; electric ovens typically cost less to fix than gas |
| Stove / range | $100 – $300 | Igniter and heating elements; glass stovetop and radiant-induction elements are the priciest fixes |
| Dishwasher | $100 – $300 | Pump, heating element, or motor; a new dishwasher runs $400 – $1,200 for the unit alone |
| Microwave | $100 – $250 | Diode, fuse, or door switch; countertop models are often cheaper to replace than repair |
| Garbage disposal | $100 – $250 | Clogs, leaks, or jams; replacement runs $200 – $550 |
| Ice maker | $100 – $225 | Water-supply line or inlet valve; a replacement ice maker runs $250 – $600 installed |
| Water heater | $150 – $700 | Electric or gas connections, thermostat, or ignition; tankless repair runs $300 – $1,300 |
Averages hide the spread: a door switch is a small job, while a sealed-system refrigerator repair or a control board replacement can cost several times the average. Ask which part failed and what the part itself costs before approving the job.
HomeGuide (2026) breaks the visit itself out from the repair:
| Charge | Typical cost (HomeGuide, 2026) | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Diagnostic visit fee | $70 – $130 | Travel in the standard service area, diagnostics, and the first hour of labor |
| Emergency visit fee | $140 – $400 | After-hours or urgent visits, before parts and extra labor |
| Hourly labor | $50 – $125 per hour | Labor beyond the first hour covered by the visit fee |
| Annual maintenance plan | $200 – $500 | Cleaning, inspections, and tune-ups for covered appliances, sometimes with repair discounts |
Some technicians charge a flat rate for basic repairs, while others charge the visit fee plus hourly labor. Ask which model applies, and whether the diagnostic fee is credited toward the repair if you go ahead, since that changes the real total.
HomeGuide (2026) offers two rules of thumb: appliances more than 10 years old, or repairs costing more than half of a replacement, usually are not worth repairing. The guide puts a new appliance at $400 to $1,650 on average for the unit, plus $150 to $350 for installation labor, against $100 to $400 for a typical repair.
In practice, the decision turns on a few specifics:
If the repair is close to half the replacement price, get the replacement price in writing too, including installation and haul-away, before deciding.
Getting a fair number takes some legwork: finding repair pros that cover your street, describing the appliance and the symptom, and comparing what each estimate actually includes. When you have one, check:
