Appliance Repair Pricing Guide 2026
Appliance repair pricing depends on the appliance, the diagnosed failure, parts availability, accessibility, and the work required to complete and test the repair. Urban Brothers Appliance Repair uses a consistent starting policy for residential service visits:
$150 House Call — Applied Toward Your Final Repair Bill
When you proceed with the approved repair, the $150 house-call and diagnostic fee is applied toward the final repair bill. The fee does not change by city or service area.
Need a diagnosis in Mesquite, Heath, or another community in the service area? Call or text 469-720-3885 or schedule appliance repair.
What the $150 House Call Covers
The house call covers the service visit and diagnostic work needed to evaluate the reported appliance problem. Depending on the complaint, that may include visual inspection, electrical testing, component testing, error-code review, temperature measurements, leak checks, airflow checks, or controlled operation of the appliance.
After the diagnosis, the technician explains the findings and provides an estimate for the recommended repair. No repair should be approved solely from a generic online price range because two appliances with the same symptom can have different failures.
How to Use the Price Ranges in This Guide
The ranges below are general planning examples retained from this guide. They are not fixed quotes, specials, or promises that a particular repair will fall within a listed amount. A final repair estimate depends on the actual diagnosis, the model, the required part, labor, access, and other job-specific conditions.
The $150 house call is separate from these planning ranges until an approved repair is completed, at which point it is applied toward the final repair bill.
Refrigerator Repair Price Ranges
Refrigerators operate continuously and may contain fans, sensors, heaters, water valves, control boards, and sealed refrigeration components. Common symptoms include warm temperatures, leaks, heavy frost, unusual noise, repeated cycling, and ice-maker failures.
| Repair item | Typical planning range |
|---|---|
| Control board replacement | $300–$600 |
| Sealed-system work involving compressor and refrigerant circuit | $600–$1,200 |
| Ice maker repair or replacement | $200–$400 |
| Evaporator fan motor | $200–$450 |
| Condenser fan motor | $200–$350 |
| Thermostat or temperature sensor | $250–$350 |
| Water inlet valve | $150–$300 |
| Door gasket or seal | $100–$250 |
| Defrost timer or heater | $150–$300 |
| Compressor replacement | $650–$1,000 |
Sealed-system work requires specialized tools, procedures, and the applicable refrigerant-handling credentials. Refrigerant-circuit service should be performed by a technician who holds the required EPA Section 608 certification for that work. A diagnosis is needed before deciding whether a cooling complaint involves the sealed system.
If your refrigerator is warm, leaking, or making abnormal noise, review our refrigerator repair service or call 469-720-3885.
Washer Repair Costs
Washer repairs in the existing guide generally range from $250–$600. Lower-cost and higher-cost repairs both exist, so that range should not be treated as a quote. Drain pumps, lid or door switches, belts, suspension components, motors, transmissions, bearings, wiring, and control systems require different parts and labor.
A washer that will not drain may have a blockage, failed pump, wiring issue, control fault, or household drain condition. A washer that will not spin may involve the lid lock, load balance, suspension, drive system, motor, or controls. Visit our washer repair page for service details.
Dryer Repair Costs
Dryer repairs in the existing guide generally range from $200–$450. Common appliance-side failures include heating elements, igniters, thermal devices, rollers, belts, motors, sensors, switches, wiring, and electronic controls. Household exhaust restrictions can also cause long dry times and overheating, but the building vent is separate from the dryer itself.
Do not continue using a dryer that produces smoke, sparks, a burning odor, or abnormal heat. For a dryer that will not heat, tumble, or complete a cycle, see our dryer repair service.
Dishwasher Repair Costs
Dishwasher pricing varies with the drain, wash, fill, heating, latch, wiring, and control systems involved. Standing water does not automatically mean the drain pump has failed; the filter, hose, garbage-disposal connection, household plumbing, or control sequence may be involved. A leak can come from a hose, seal, pump, valve, tub, installation condition, or excessive suds.
Because the diagnosis changes the repair, request professional dishwasher service before ordering parts based only on a symptom.
Oven, Range, and Cooktop Repair Costs
Urban Brothers services electric and gas ovens, ranges, cooktops, and burners. Planning ranges retained from the prior guide include:
- Igniters and heating elements: $200–$350
- Control boards and touchpads: $450–$700
- Gas valves: $300–$500
These are general examples, not fixed prices. The final estimate depends on the actual failure and model. Problems may involve elements, igniters, sensors, switches, relays, wiring, controls, regulators, valves, or incoming utilities.
If you smell unburned gas, stop operating the appliance and follow the gas utility’s safety instructions before scheduling appliance repair. For other heating, ignition, or temperature complaints, see our oven and range repair page.
Repair Versus Replacement
There is no single rule that fits every appliance. Compare the diagnosed repair cost with the appliance’s age, overall condition, replacement price, installation needs, parts availability, maintenance history, and prior failures. A repair may make sense when the appliance is otherwise in good condition and the failure is isolated. Replacement may be more practical when the unit has severe deterioration, repeated major failures, unavailable parts, or several systems nearing the end of useful life.
| Appliance | Repair planning range | New-appliance planning range | Decision factors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard refrigerator | $250–$600 | $1,200–$2,500+ | Configuration, condition, installation, and failure type |
| Luxury or built-in refrigerator | $600–$1,200 | $8,000–$12,000+ | Age, parts support, cabinet fit, and sealed-system condition |
| Washer | $200–$450 | $700–$1,300 | Drive-system condition, leaks, bearings, and controls |
| Dryer | $150–$350 | $600–$1,100 | Heating system, motor, drum support, and vent condition |
| Oven | $250–$500 | $900–$2,000+ | Heating system, controls, gas or electric configuration |
These comparison figures are planning examples only. Urban Brothers will explain the diagnosed condition and proposed repair so the homeowner can make an informed choice.
Warranty on Qualifying Repairs
Qualifying repairs performed using company-supplied parts include a 90-day limited parts and labor warranty covering the particular supplied component and the associated workmanship, subject to the written Terms and Conditions. The warranty is not a 90-day guarantee on every appliance component.
