Common repairs and what they cost
The part that failed matters more than anything else. Here’s what the most common repairs cost in Toronto.
Refrigerator repair cost
| Problem | Usual cause | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Not cooling | Evaporator fan motor | $120 to $250 |
| Not cooling | Condenser fan motor | $175 to $245 |
| Frost build-up, warm fridge | Defrost heater, defrost system or thermostat | $130 to $375 |
| Clicks but won’t run | Start relay | $90 to $185 |
| Water on the floor or under the crisper | Clogged defrost drain | $90 to $160 |
| Ice maker or water dispenser not working | Water inlet valve | $110 to $225 |
| No ice | Ice maker assembly or module | $140 to $290 |
| Door doesn’t seal | Door gasket | $80 to $200 |
We don’t do sealed-system work, which includes compressors and refrigerant leaks. If your fridge runs but won’t cool at all, the cause is often a fan, a defrost part or the start relay, and we fix those. See repair or replace below, and our refrigerator repair page.
Washer repair cost
| Problem | Usual cause | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain | Drain pump | $110 to $270 |
| Won’t spin (top-load) | Lid switch | $85 to $195 |
| Won’t spin | Drive belt | $90 to $200 |
| Won’t spin, motor hums | Motor coupling | $110 to $190 |
| Leaks or door won’t lock (front-load) | Door latch or boot seal | $110 to $240 |
| Won’t fill | Water inlet valve | $100 to $210 |
| Loud roaring on spin | Drum or tub bearings | $220 to $320 |
| Dead or showing error codes | Control board | $180 to $400 |
Front-load washers usually cost more to fix than top-loaders because the door and drum assemblies are more complex. More on our washer repair page.
Electric dryer repair cost
| Problem | Usual cause | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Tumbles but no heat | Thermal fuse | $90 to $185 |
| Tumbles but no heat | Heating element | $110 to $300 |
| Drum won’t turn | Drum belt | $150 to $225 |
| Squeaking or thumping | Drum rollers or bearings | $195 to $265 |
| Takes two cycles to dry | Vent cleaning | $65 to $95 |
A blocked vent is the most common reason thermal fuses blow. Read why your dryer isn’t heating and how to clean a dryer vent, or see dryer repair.
Dishwasher repair cost
| Problem | Usual cause | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Won’t drain | Drain pump | $190 to $270 |
| Won’t fill | Water inlet valve | $160 to $215 |

| Dishes dirty or not drying | Wash pump or heating element | $225 to $375 |
| Dishes dirty | Spray arms | $120 to $160 |
| Dead or showing error codes | Control board | $260 to $360 |
Bosch owners: see our guide to the Bosch E24 and E25 errors, which are often a clog you can clear yourself. More on dishwasher repair.
Electric oven, range and cooktop repair cost

| Wrong temperature | Oven thermostat | $160 to $340 |
| Burner won’t heat | Surface element | $150 to $320 |
| Burner stuck on high or low | Infinite switch | $100 to $280 |

See oven element replacement and our oven and stove repair page. We don’t work on gas ranges.
What affects the price of an appliance repair
- The part that failed. This is the biggest factor. A fuse, switch or gasket is cheap. A control board isn’t.
- The brand. Parts for premium and European brands like Miele, Bosch and KitchenAid can cost several times more than the same part for Whirlpool, Frigidaire or GE.
- The type of appliance. Front-load washers, built-in fridges and wall ovens take more labour to open up than top-loaders and freestanding units.
- Labour time. Some parts are a 20-minute swap. Others mean pulling the appliance out or taking the door or drum apart.
- Age and parts availability. Parts for older or discontinued models can cost more or take longer to arrive.
- A second visit. If the part isn’t in stock, the job takes two visits. Toronto homeowners often report paying for both. With us, the return visit is free.
- Your location. The price is the same everywhere we work: Downtown Toronto, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke.
- Timing. Same-day, evening and weekend visits cost the same with us. We’re open 7 AM to 11 PM daily.
- HST. Most published Toronto prices, including the ranges here and our $70 service call, are before the 13% HST.
What Toronto repair companies charge for a service call
The service call (or diagnostic fee) pays for the technician to come to your home and find the fault. The Toronto companies we checked charge $89 to $150 plus HST, and local guides quote ranges up to $200. Some waive it only if you approve the repair within a set number of days, and some never waive it.
Ours is $70 plus HST, and it’s waived when you go ahead with the repair. You only pay it if you decide not to repair. If a part has to be ordered, the return visit is free.
Should you repair or replace your appliance?
Use the 50% rule: if the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new appliance, replacing usually makes more sense. Below that line, repairing almost always wins. Age shifts the line, so check where your appliance is in its typical lifespan:
| Appliance | Typical lifespan |
|---|---|
| Refrigerator | 10 to 15 years |
| Washer | 10 to 12 years |
| Dryer | 10 to 13 years |
| Dishwasher | 9 to 12 years |
| Electric range or oven | 13 to 15 years |
- Repair it when it’s in the first half of its lifespan, or when it’s one common part (pump, element, fan, switch, valve, gasket) on an otherwise good machine.
- Think about replacing when an older appliance needs a control board or keeps breaking, or when an older fridge needs compressor or sealed-system work (which we don’t do).
- Built-in appliances like built-in fridges, dishwashers and wall ovens are usually worth repairing, because a new one has to match your cabinets.
We’ll give you an honest answer on the visit. If it’s not worth fixing, we’ll say so.
How to save money on appliance repair
- Check the simple things first. Make sure the breaker hasn’t tripped and the appliance is plugged in. Clean the washer’s pump filter and the dishwasher’s filter. Vacuum the fridge’s condenser coils. Clean the dryer’s lint trap and vent.
- Send us the model number and a photo of any error code. We can bring the likely part and fix it in one visit.
- Book everything at once. If two appliances need work, fix them on the same visit.
- Go ahead with the repair. The $70 service call is then waived.
- Don’t wait. A noisy bearing or a leaking pump can damage other parts, and the floor, if it’s left too long.

Appliance repair cost FAQ
How much does appliance repair cost in Toronto?
Most common appliance repairs in Toronto cost about $150 to $350 including parts and labour, before HST. Simple fixes like a thermal fuse, start relay or door gasket can be under $150, while a control board can run up to about $600. With Appliance Repair Toronto, the $70 service call (plus HST) is waived when you go ahead with the repair.
How much is the service call?
Our service call is $70 plus HST. It covers the visit and the diagnosis, and it’s waived when you go ahead with the repair. Toronto companies we checked charge $89 to $150 plus HST, and local guides quote up to $200.
Do your prices include HST?
Yes, all prices are before HST (13%). The ranges on this page are typical Toronto market prices, and our $70 service call is also plus HST. Your technician gives you the exact total before any work starts.
Can you give me an exact price over the phone?
We can give you a likely range, like the ones on this page and in the calculator. The same symptom can be a cheap part or a major one, so the exact price comes after the diagnosis, before any work starts. Sending us the model number and a photo of the error code helps us narrow it down.
Is it worth repairing an old appliance?
Use the 50% rule. If the repair costs more than half the price of a comparable new appliance, replacing usually makes more sense. A common part on a mid-life appliance is almost always worth fixing. A control board or repeated breakdowns on an appliance near the end of its lifespan is where replacing often wins.
What warranty do I get on a repair?
Every repair comes with a warranty. How long it lasts depends on the part and the manufacturer’s policy.
Do I pay again if a part has to be ordered?
No. If the part isn’t in stock and has to be ordered, the return visit to install it is free.
Do you fix refrigerator compressors or refrigerant leaks?
No. We don’t do sealed-system work, which includes compressors and refrigerant leaks. Many fridges that stop cooling actually have a failed fan, defrost part or start relay, and those we do fix.
Do you charge more for evenings or weekends?
No. We’re open 7 AM to 11 PM every day, and the price is the same.
Which areas do you serve?
Toronto, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke. If your postal code starts with M, you’re in our area.
Do you repair gas appliances?
No. We repair electric appliances only: refrigerators, washers, electric dryers, dishwashers, and electric ovens, ranges, stoves and cooktops.
