How Much Do Kitchen Appliance Repairs Cost?

Typical electrical kitchen appliance repair work costs $1,000 to $2,000. Electricians and appliance repair firms charge between $45 to $120 per hour for repairs. Expect a service charge as well, which can range between $150 to $200 per visit.

Fixing or installing larger appliances, however, is more difficult. A range, for example, can require either a 250- or 125-volt circuit depending on if it’s entirely electrical or gas-powered, and you’ll need at least two 20-amp, 125-volt circuits to run small appliances. These circuits can each carry multiple outlets, but you don’t want to overload them — often, a third is necessary.

The national average is $159 for dishwasher repairs – companies typically charge $75 to $150 per hour. Expect a $50 to $75 trip charge too for them to come and inspect the problem.Certified electricians will charge anywhere from $45 to $60 an hour for their work, and electrical contractors may charge between $75 and $120 per hour. This sounds like a lot, but paying more for certified work is preferable to paying a cheaper price for work you’ll need to replace in a few years. If a “professional” charges less than $30 an hour, be suspicious.
