# Repair cost archive

## Every figure is a starting point, and we say what moves it.

No final price is published anywhere on this site. The exact cost is measured at your machine and agreed in writing before anything is opened — and where a repair is not worth doing, we say that too.

46 — jobs with a starting figure

from $89 — diagnostic, credited to the repair

3 — things that move the figure most

## Every job, with its figure

Each page says what the work involves, what moves the number, and what is included before anything is opened.

No cost pages are published yet.

## The parts channel, not the hour

The diagnostic on this badge is the lowest first-visit figure we publish, and the reason is what is on the van rather than what the hour is worth. Pump, valve, element, lid switch and fan motor are stocked for this make rather than ordered, so the visit that finds the problem is often the visit that fixes it.

That changes the arithmetic on an older machine considerably. On a make whose parts arrive in three weeks, keeping a twelve-year-old appliance going is an ordeal; here it is usually one visit.

## The repairs we advise against

A sealed-tub bearing job on a twelve-year-old front-loader, a bonded glass top on a cooktop that costs more than the machine, a control board on a range that is older than the kitchen. Those exist, and on a volume badge they are the point where a repair stops making sense.

We would rather say so at the diagnostic than after ordering parts. You have paid for the answer, and the answer is sometimes that the machine is finished.

## Three things, and none of them can be judged over the phone

The machine

- How old it is. On this badge we open appliances from two years old to twenty, and the half hour at the end of the visit is very different.
- Which version of the part fits — this maker revises components inside a model run, so the serial decides it rather than the model.
- Whether the panel was cleared before we arrived. A power cycle throws away the evidence and the diagnosis starts from measurement instead.
- Whether one failure has taken another with it, which is common on heat and on ice.

The building

- Where the machine lives. A garage freezer or a stacked laundry center in a closet takes longer to reach than a range that pulls forward.
- Whether an association needs a certificate of insurance and a service elevator booked.
- Whether the appliance is built in, and what has to come out around it.
- How long the unit has been installed — the first thirty days belong to the installer, and we will say so.

## By job instead

Every repair page carries its own starting figure alongside what the work involves.

## The diagnostic is credited, and it is charged even when nothing is wrong

Both halves of that are the point. If the repair goes ahead, the diagnostic comes off it. If the answer turns out to be a control lock, a filter nobody has cleaned or a machine drying exactly as designed, the visit is still charged — and we would rather talk you out of it on the phone first, which is why the symptom pages carry the free checks.

## The questions this page is asked

Why is everything a from? — Because the same job is not the same work on two machines. The part, the access and what the appliance has done to itself all move it, and naming a figure before measuring is guessing with extra confidence.

Is the diagnostic on top of the repair? — No — it is credited toward the repair when you go ahead. Where the answer is that the machine is not worth fixing, you have paid for the answer rather than for a part.

Will you quote over the phone? — Not for a repair. We will happily tell you which of the free checks to try first, and which page on this site covers what you are describing.

## How these figures are set, and why none of them is final

### Every figure is a from

The same job is not the same work on two machines: the part, the access and what the appliance has done to itself all move it. A number given before the visit would be a number given before the facts, so what is published is where a job starts.

### Why this badge’s diagnostic is the lowest we publish

From $89, and the reason is the parts channel rather than the hour. Pump, valve, element, lid switch and fan motor are stocked for this make rather than ordered, so the visit that finds the problem is frequently the visit that fixes it, and the first trip does not have to carry the cost of a second one.

### When we say do not

A sealed-tub bearing on a twelve-year-old front-loader, a bonded glass cooktop, a board on a range older than the kitchen. On a volume badge those are where a repair stops making sense, and the honest place to say it is at the diagnostic rather than after parts are ordered.

## Ask before you book.

Tell us the model and what it is doing. Where the honest answer is that this is not a repair, we would rather say it before anybody sets off.
