The Short Answer

Most repairs run $180–$1,200.

Component-level repairs — sensors, control boards, fans, igniters, valves — make up the large majority of calls. Sealed-system and compressor work runs higher, typically $1,400–$3,500, since it involves licensed refrigerant handling and more labor.

What Drives the Price

Why ranges instead of a fixed number.

Two units showing the same symptom can land at different ends of the same range. A few things move the number.

Repair vs. Replace

When does replacing make more sense?

As a rule of thumb, a repair running past 40–50% of a realistic replacement cost is worth a second look — but most built-in units last 15–20 years with normal maintenance, so age alone isn’t a reason to replace a unit that’s otherwise sound.

Even a compressor or sealed-system repair, the most expensive category on this page, is typically still a fraction of a new built-in unit’s cost once you factor in the panels, installation, and disposal a replacement requires. We’ll always give you a straight answer on which one makes more sense for your specific unit.

FAQ

Repair cost, answered.

Why are prices shown as ranges instead of one number?

Model, the specific part involved, and access to the unit all vary — a gasket swap and a control board replacement both fall under “electrical fault,” for example, but cost very differently. The range is a planning figure; the diagnostic gets you the exact number.

How does the $99 diagnostic fee work?

It’s paid up front and covers a full model-specific diagnostic — checking symptoms, testing components, and confirming the cause. It’s waived entirely if you approve the repair.

How much does a compressor or sealed-system repair cost?

Typically $1,400–$3,500, including parts and the licensed refrigerant handling the repair requires. We only quote sealed-system work after pressure and electrical testing confirms it’s actually the cause.

Do you charge more for same-day or emergency calls?

No — pricing is based on the model, part, and labor involved, not how quickly you need it. Standard diagnostics are included in every service call.

Does the price change based on which brand I have?

Not directly — a control board fault costs roughly the same to diagnose and repair whether it’s in a Sub-Zero, Wolf, Viking, Thermador, KitchenAid, or GE Monogram unit. What changes the price is the specific part and how accessible it is, not the badge on the front.

Is my unit still covered under a manufacturer warranty?

If it is, we’ll tell you during the diagnostic and point you to the authorized network — we specialize exclusively in out-of-warranty repairs, so we have no incentive to tell you otherwise.
