Appliance repair cost depends on what has failed, the appliance model and the parts and labor needed to complete the repair. At Appliance Repair Pro, the household appliance service call and diagnosis fee is $95. The fee is non-refundable and is credited toward the repair cost if you proceed with the repair.
We are based in Savage, MN, and serve nearby communities, including Prior Lake, Lakeville, Shakopee and Bloomington. This guide explains our service call fee and the factors to consider when deciding whether to repair or replace a household appliance.
What Does the $95 Service Call Cover?
The $95 fee covers the service call and diagnosis. It is not a fixed price for the complete repair. Diagnosis helps establish what is wrong with the appliance and what work is needed.
If you proceed with the repair, the service call fee is credited toward the repair cost. If you choose not to proceed, the $95 service call and diagnosis fee still applies and is non-refundable.
How Is the Service Call Fee Credited?
The $95 fee is applied toward the repair cost rather than added again on top of that cost. If the fee has already been paid and you proceed with the repair, it reduces the remaining repair balance by $95.
When reviewing a repair estimate, check the total repair price and how the service call credit is reflected. This helps you understand the amount still payable.
What Affects the Final Appliance Repair Cost?
The Diagnosed Problem
Similar symptoms can have different causes. A refrigerator that is not cooling, a dishwasher that will not drain or a dryer that produces no heat cannot be priced accurately from the symptom alone. The diagnosis determines the repair needed.
The Model and Required Parts
Parts vary by appliance model. The cost and availability of the required replacement part can affect the repair estimate and the time needed to complete the work. A model number is more useful than the brand name alone when identifying the equipment. Use our model number guide to find the label on your appliance.
The Work Involved
The work required to reach and replace a component varies by appliance and installation. Tell us whether your appliance is built in, stacked or located in a space with limited access when requesting service.
Repair Costs by Appliance Type
The following service pages explain the equipment we repair. The final price for your appliance depends on its diagnosis; the $95 service call is not a complete repair quote.
Refrigerator: Temperature problem, frost, leaks or unfamiliar noise; model number. Refrigerator repair.
Dishwasher: Draining, washing, leaking or starting problem; any error code. Dishwasher repair.
Washing machine: Filling, draining, spinning or leaking problem; any error code. Washing machine repair.
Dryer: Heating, starting or drum movement problem; model number. Dryer repair.
Oven: Heating or temperature problem; model number and error code. Oven repair.
Cooktop: Which burner or control is affected; model number. Cooktop repair.
Microwave: Heating, starting or control problem; model number. Microwave repair.
Should You Repair or Replace the Appliance?
Compare the repair estimate with the total cost of a suitable replacement, including any delivery, installation and removal charges quoted by the seller. Consider the appliance’s condition, previous repairs, how well it meets your needs and the availability of required parts.
Age is one factor, but it does not determine the decision by itself. An older appliance with an isolated fault and an appliance with repeated problems may call for different choices. A diagnosis and a repair estimate give you more useful information than a fixed replacement-age rule.
What Warranty Comes With the Repair?
Appliance Repair Pro repairs include a 2-month warranty on parts and labor for the work performed. Contact us with questions about the warranty for your specific repair.
Is Commercial Refrigeration Priced the Same Way?
Commercial refrigeration has a different service call and diagnosis fee: $195. That fee is non-refundable and is credited toward the repair cost if you proceed. See our commercial refrigeration repair page for equipment and service details.
