Real-World Appliance Repair Costs in Tampa
Here's what common appliance repair jobs cost in Tampa in 2026, per repair, with the service call, parts and labor.
Fridge not cooling — fan, defrost part or thermostat
The technician finds the fault on the first visit and fits a common part. If the compressor has failed instead, the job jumps to $615–$1,450, and on an older fridge a new one is often the better buy.
Washer won't drain — new drain pump
A clogged or failed pump is one of the most common washer calls. Check the drain filter and hose first; the visit alone is $75–$155.
Dryer runs but won't heat — element or igniter
Electric dryers lose a heating element, gas dryers an igniter. A clogged vent often causes it, so add a vent cleaning at $85–$260.
Oven won't heat — new igniter
A weak igniter is the usual cause on gas ovens. If the control board has failed instead, budget $205–$770.
Sub-Zero or Wolf not working
High-end built-ins have pricier parts, and many need a technician trained on that brand. A new Sub-Zero can cost $8,000 or more, so a repair usually costs far less than replacing it.
How much does appliance repair cost in Tampa?
$105–$420, with $210 typical. Simple fixes like a dryer belt or a dishwasher latch sit near the bottom; refrigerator and oven repairs near the top. A compressor job is $615–$1,450.

What moves an appliance repair quote in Tampa:
- The part — belts, switches and valves are cheap; a control board ($205–$770) or compressor ($615–$1,450) is not.
- The brand — Sub-Zero, Wolf and Viking repairs run $310–$1,450.
- Access — built-ins, stacked units and condo buildings take longer.
- Timing — a same-day or weekend visit fee is $145–$415, not $75–$155.
- Extra labor — past the first hour, $50–$155 an hour.
Ask every Tampa company the same five things: the service call fee and whether it is credited, the price of the part, the labor price, the warranty on parts and labor, and when the part will arrive. Compare those, not the headline price. Get a quote for your appliance repair job →
Appliance Repair Cost in Tampa by Appliance Age
Under 5 years: check the maker's warranty first; a repair runs $105–$420 if it isn't covered. 5–10 years: repair if it costs less than half the price of new. Over 10 years: get a price for a new one before you pay for a big repair like a $615–$1,450 compressor.
Worked example: a 6-year-old fridge in Tampa stops cooling. A fan motor or defrost repair costs about $310. A new mid-range fridge costs $600–$2,300, so half of a typical $1,450 fridge is $725. The repair is well under that, so fix it.
Same fridge at 12 years with a dead compressor: about $975 to repair against about $1,450 for a typical new fridge. That is 67% of the price of new on an old appliance, so replacing it usually makes more sense.
Tampa Appliance Repair Costs by Appliance
| Appliance | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $130–$520 per repair | Fans, defrost parts, thermostats and water valves fail most. A compressor or sealed-system fix is $615–$1,450. Most fridges last 10–15 years. |
| Washing machine | $105–$465 per repair | Pumps, belts, inlet valves and drum bearings wear out. Most washers last 10–14 years. |
| Dryer (gas or electric) | $105–$415 per repair | Belts, heating elements, igniters and rollers. Clean the vent ($85–$260) to stop it overheating. Most dryers last 6–10 years. |
| Dishwasher | $105–$365 per repair | Drain pumps, inlet valves, door latches and heating elements are the usual fixes. |
| Oven or wall oven | $130–$440 per repair | Igniters ($155–$310), bake elements and control boards. Ovens often last 10–20 years, so repair usually pays. |
| Stove, range or cooktop | $105–$415 per repair | Igniters, burners, switches and glass tops. Gas models cost a little more to fix than electric. |
| Microwave | $105–$310 per repair | Over-the-range and built-in models are worth fixing. A cheap countertop unit usually isn't. Most last 7–10 years. |
| Freezer (chest or upright) | $105–$465 per repair | Thermostats, fans and defrost parts. Freezers often last 12–20 years. |
| Ice maker | $105–$415 per repair | Water inlet valves, control boards and motors. Under 5 years old, repair is usually cheaper than a new one. |
| Garbage disposal | $75–$310 per repair | Jams, leaks and dead motors. A new disposal installed is $255–$870, so an old one is often replaced. |
| High-end built-in (Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking) | $310–$1,450 per repair | Pricier parts and brand-trained technicians. These are worth repairing far longer than standard brands. |
Part price vs repair price — the Tampa appliance repair bill
Most appliance parts cost far less than the repair bill. The $105–$420 you pay in Tampa covers the trip, the diagnosis ($75–$155 on its own), the part, and the technician's time at $50–$155 an hour past the first hour.
Buying the part yourself rarely saves much, and a wrong guess wastes money. Ask first whether the company will guarantee a part you bought. Mr. Appliance, for example, guarantees its own parts and service for one year, and Puls guarantees repairs for 90 days.
What's included in a Tampa appliance repair quote (and what costs extra)
A standard repair price covers the technician's visit, finding the fault, one common part, the labor to fit it and a test run. The headline price often leaves out:
- Extra labor — $50–$155 an hour once the job runs past the first hour
- Pricey parts — a control board ($205–$770) or compressor ($615–$1,450)
- Same-day or weekend service — a $145–$415 visit fee instead of the normal $75–$155
- Haul-away — $25–$155 if you replace the appliance instead
Ask whether the service call is credited to the repair. Most companies credit it; some charge it on top.

The brand
Standard brands are the prices on this page. Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking and Thermador repairs run $310–$1,450 in Tampa.
How old it is
Past about 10 years, or when a repair costs more than half the price of a new one, replacing is usually the better buy. Newer appliances may still be under the maker's warranty.
Access and building rules
Built-in units, stacked washer-dryers and condo buildings with parking or elevator rules take longer, which adds to the $50–$155 hourly labor.
When you book
A booked weekday visit is the cheapest, at $75–$155. A same-day, evening or weekend visit fee is $145–$415 in Tampa.
Local labor costs
Tampa is a large metro with mid-range repair prices. The typical repair here, $210, is about 5% above the US typical of $200.

- Ask if the service call is credited.Most companies take the $75–$155 visit off the bill when you book the repair. Get that in writing.
- Do the free checks.Check the breaker, the plug, the water valve and the filters first. Many calls are a tripped breaker or a clogged filter.
- Book a weekday.A same-day or weekend visit fee is $145–$415 in Tampa, against $75–$155 for a booked weekday visit.
- Use the half-price rule.If the repair costs more than half the price of a new appliance, or the appliance is over 10 years old, get a price for a new one before you say yes.
- Get two quotes on big repairs.For anything over $420, like a compressor at $615–$1,450, a second opinion is worth the extra service call.
Tampa appliance repair companies often quote by phone. Before you say yes to the repair, get these in writing:
- The service call fee, and whether it is credited to the repair
- What is wrong, in plain words
- The part, its price and whether it is a factory (OEM) part
- The labor price, flat or by the hour
- The warranty on parts and labor, and how long it lasts
- Whether same-day, evening or weekend fees apply
- When the part will arrive and whether a second visit is needed
- For sealed-system fridge work: that the technician is EPA certified
