Refrigerator Repair
Fixing a refrigerator typically costs between $240 and $340, though repairs can range from as little as $80 to as much as $390. Common signs your fridge might need attention include leaks, a malfunctioning ice maker, insufficient cooling, or unusual noises like buzzing, humming, or rattling. To prevent the problem from escalating, it’s a good idea to have a professional SD Appliance technician have a look if you notice any of these issues.
Freezer Repair
Freezer repair costs generally range from $130 to $540. Due to the more intricate mechanics of freezers compared to refrigerators, the expenses for their repairs are often higher. Minor fixes, like addressing a faulty thermostat or repairing a damaged door, are typically more affordable. In contrast, more extensive work, such as replacing a control panel, tends to be pricier.
Cooktop, Range, and Oven Repair
Reproducing a cooktop, range, or oven typically costs between $140 and $540 at SD Appliance Repair. The appliance model, energy type, and specific issues can significantly influence the price. Minor fixes, like replacing burner coils, are generally more affordable, while more significant problems, such as a damaged glass top or a malfunctioning control panel, tend to be more expensive.
Microwave Repair
Microwave repair costs usually range from $90 to $440. Since new microwaves are available at prices between $90 and $2,040, fixing them is not always cost-effective. A good rule of thumb is to opt for a replacement if the repair expenses exceed half the price of a new unit.
Dishwasher Repair
Dishwasher repairs typically cost between $200 and $340, with the average cost around $240. Issues often involve components like the motor or pump, although smaller problems, such as a faulty valve or clogged filter, are also common. If the dishwasher isn’t draining correctly, a plumber might be needed to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Garbage Disposal Repair
Garbage disposal repairs typically range from $110 to $290. However, since replacing a disposal can cost anywhere from $190 to $990, repairs might only sometimes be the most practical option. For older units, especially those nearing their usual lifespan of 5 to 10 years or lower-cost models, opting for a replacement might be a more worthwhile choice.
Washing Machine Repair
Repairing a washing machine generally falls between $90 and $490, depending on the specific issue. Simple fixes, like addressing door problems or replacing seals, tend to be more affordable, while more extensive repairs, such as fixing the pump, clutch, or transmission, are at the higher end of the scale. While washing machines typically have a lifespan of about ten years, it’s not unusual for repairs to become necessary after about five years of regular use.
Dryer Repair
Dryer repair costs typically range from $140 to $440. Less expensive fixes include replacing a damaged belt or installing new bearings, while more significant repairs, such as replacing the motor or a faulty heating element, are on the higher end of the price range.
