What moves the price
HomeGuide lists the factors (HomeGuide):
- Labor rates, travel distance and season.
- How bad the damage is: a door switch versus internal repairs.
- Brand and model: high-end brands have pricier parts.
- Access: built-in units and tight spaces take longer.
- Part availability: a special-order part can mean a second trip.
- Fuel: gas appliances cost 10 to 20 percent more to repair.
Repair or replace?
HomeGuide's guideline: appliances more than 10 years old or with repairs over 50 percent of a replacement typically are not worth repairing; it puts replacements at $400 to $1,650 on average. Before deciding, check the warranty (Maytag's 10-year parts coverage, 5-year sealed-system coverage on Samsung and LG refrigerators) and the recall list. More in repair or replace.
