What was diagnosed?
Ask for a plain-language explanation of the fault and how it relates to the symptom you reported.
Know the starting cost
Clear pricing begins with a real diagnosis.
The initial cost is simple: every appliance diagnostic visit starts with a $79 diagnostic fee. If you approve the recommended repair, that $79 is credited toward the repair.
The total repair price comes after the appliance is assessed. Parts and labor vary by model and cause, so your written estimate is the source of truth for the work you are asked to approve.
$79
Flat diagnostic fee
Diagnosis first. Repair only with your approval.
The technician investigates the reported appliance problem and prepares the recommended work and price in a written estimate. The diagnostic fee is not presented as the price of a completed repair.
Approve the repair and the $79 diagnostic fee is credited toward it. If you decline, you can use the assessment to consider your next step without having authorized the repair.
How your estimate develops
Three steps, with the decision in your hands.
- Book and describe the symptom. Choose the closest residential appliance type, provide the model number if available, and select a current request window. Staff confirms the service address and appointment.
- Review the diagnosis and written estimate. Ask which parts and labor are included, whether a part order or follow-up visit is needed, and what warranty duration and exclusions apply.
- Approve or decline the recommended work. Approval applies the $79 diagnostic fee as a credit toward the repair. Declining leaves the repair unauthorized.
Why no universal repair total
The same symptom can require different work.
A refrigerator that is not cooling, a washer that is not draining, or a dryer that is not heating can have several possible causes. Model design, part selection, access, and the testing required can change the repair recommendation.
For that reason, this page does not publish invented flat prices for completed repairs. The written estimate identifies your actual recommended work and cost before repair begins.
Parts and labor warranty coverage is provided. Check the written estimate or invoice for the exact duration and any exclusions attached to your specific repair.
Before you approve
Four questions worth asking about any estimate.
What is included?
Review the recommended parts, labor, and any follow-up work described in the estimate.
What affects timing?
Part availability and the appliance’s condition can affect the next step. Ask what applies to your job.
What warranty is written?
Confirm the exact parts and labor coverage duration and exclusions in the estimate or invoice.
Pricing questions
