Appliance Repair in Acworth GA
Appliance repair in Acworth, GA runs a median of $280 per completed job, or $355 once a part is actually replaced. Those figures come from 531 jobs we have run inside Acworth across 433 households, 391 of which finished as paid work.
The bottom quarter of those visits ends at $100, which is the diagnostic on its own.
The top quarter starts at $386. Both Acworth ZIP codes, both sides of the city, carry the same price list and no travel surcharge, and every completed repair comes with a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Refrigerator, washer, dryer, oven, dishwasher, freezer and ice maker. You get the total before we start, and most Acworth repairs finish on the first visit.
What Appliance Repair Costs in Acworth, GA
Every figure below is a median from our own completed Acworth invoices, with the part, the labor and the service call added together. The first price column answers what a typical visit ends up costing once the $99 diagnostics are counted in. The second answers the question you should be asking when the machine is genuinely dead rather than misbehaving: what does it cost once a part is actually replaced.
The last column is the sample size, because a median from 8 jobs and a median from 57 are not the same kind of promise, and we would rather show you which is which than hide it.
| Appliance | Median, all paid jobs | Median with a part replaced | Middle half | Jobs with a part (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $324 | $417 | $328 to $520 | 57 |
| Washer | $190 | $340 | $293 to $382 | 27 |
| Dishwasher | $247 | $320 | $291 to $450 | 27 |
| Oven and range | $278 | $306 | $280 to $550 | 11 |
| Dryer | $335 | $368 | $334 to $420 | 8 |
| Freezer and ice maker | 9 Acworth jobs, too few to publish a local median. Company-wide: $415 ice maker, $375 freezer, with a part. | 4 | ||
Read the second column and four of the five appliances with a usable sample sit inside a $77 band, from $306 on an oven to $383 at the top of the washer range. That is not a coincidence about parts prices.
It is the service call plus one to two hours of a technician’s time, and a $30 thermostat and a $190 pump both vanish into that once somebody is standing in your laundry room.
Then the refrigerator breaks the pattern at $417 with the middle half running to $520, and behind it sits a tail that no other appliance in this city has: three compressor replacements on our Acworth invoices at $1,400, $1,400 and $1,250, the highest compressor tickets in our Georgia book.
Company-wide context is on how much appliance repair costs in Atlanta, and the reasoning behind the two-column format is in how appliance repair pricing works.
Why Acworth Appliances Fail the Way They Do
Acworth sits 34 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta on I-75, at exits 277 and 278, and it is the only city on our Georgia list that straddles a county line with a different housing market on each side. It was incorporated in 1860, went from 4,519 residents in 1990 to 13,422 in 2000, a 197 percent jump in a decade, and reached 22,440 in the 2020 census.
Those are city-limits numbers. The two Acworth ZIP codes together hold more than 105,000 people, because the mailing address runs far past the city line into unincorporated Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow and Paulding. Most of our 531 jobs here are in that wider territory, and it is where the local patterns below come from.
Three electric utilities inside one city, and one of them is the city POWER SIDE
Acworth is served by three different power companies. Acworth Power is a municipal utility with roughly 8,600 meters, run by the city itself. Cobb EMC is a member-owned co-operative with close to 200,000 consumers across Cobb, Bartow, Cherokee, Fulton and Paulding, and it holds the lowest residential rates in the state on the Public Service Commission’s own 2023 survey.
Georgia Power holds the rest. We have never worked another Georgia city where a technician has to ask which of three utilities the house is on. It matters because the boundary is also a boundary of restoration priority and outage length, and an appliance does not care who sells the electricity, only how many times the power comes back with a jolt.
The storm that took out 5,000 of 8,600 meters CONTROL BOARDS
In late July 2024 a severe thunderstorm hit Acworth hard enough that Acworth Power reported more than 5,000 of its roughly 8,600 customers without power at one point, with crews working past 1:30 in the morning.
A large tree snapped a power pole on Logan Road near Highway 92, another pole went down on Academy Street near McCall Primary School, and crews worked alongside Georgia Power and Cobb EMC on transmission lines at the I-75 Exit 278 Allatoona Gateway.
That is the mechanism behind the most expensive routine repair on every appliance we service: the control board. When a house loses power under load and gets it back hard, the board is what fails, not the motor and not the heating element.
Our Acworth invoices carry a $600 control panel replacement on a Whirlpool as the plain evidence. More on the electronics in smart appliance and control board repair.
One city, two counties, two different call rates 15.7 VS 10.7
the Cobb County side is primarily Cobb County, 22,616 housing units, a median home value of $412,400 and a median household income of $110,774. the Cherokee County side is primarily Cherokee County, 16,468 housing units, $333,000 and $97,676.
We have run 355 jobs on the Cobb County side and 176 on the Cherokee County side, which works out to 15.7 jobs per thousand homes on the Cobb side against 10.7 on the Cherokee side, 47 percent more.
That is not about who breaks appliances more. Higher home values mean more built-in and French-door equipment, more second refrigerators, and a household more likely to repair a ten-year-old machine than run it into the ground. The with-a-part median barely moves between them, $356 and $351, so the difference is how often we are called, not what it costs.
The Lake City, and what that does to a garage TWO LAKES
Acworth calls itself the Lake City because it sits on the banks of both Lake Acworth and Lake Allatoona, the Army Corps reservoir on the Etowah River; Lake Acworth was formed by a second dam built during the Allatoona project in the 1950s. Two large bodies of water on the doorstep mean summer humidity that does not drop off in the evening, and a lake town means garages, boathouses and basements full of second refrigerators, chest freezers and spare ice makers that live in unconditioned air.
A freezer rated for a kitchen, asked to hold zero degrees inside a 95-degree garage in July, runs its condenser almost continuously and furs its coil with dust. That is the single most preventable failure in this city, and vacuuming a coil in May costs nothing.
Those checks settle a good share of calls 48% AND 48%
28 of our 54 paid Acworth washer visits that ended with a part fitted. Both sit at 48 percent, the highest pair we have on any Georgia city page, against 29 percent for refrigerators and 20 percent for dryers here.
Water-connected machines produce the most convincing false alarms: a kinked drain hose, a pump filter packed with a sock, an unbalanced load tripping the shake sensor, a garbage disposal knockout plug left in after a replacement, a filter in the floor of the dishwasher that has not been cleaned in a year.
None of them need a part, and the checks on the washer and dishwasher pages are there so you can rule them out before you spend $99.
Samsung and Whirlpool are dead level here 55 AND 55
Across Acworth jobs where the brand was tagged, Samsung and Whirlpool are tied at 55 each, with GE close behind at 49, then Maytag 27, Frigidaire 25, Bosch 7, LG 4, and Kenmore, KitchenAid and Amana at 2 each. That three-way split is unusual: Newnan is clearly Samsung-led, Fayetteville is Whirlpool-led, and Acworth refuses to pick.
It has a practical effect on your bill. Whirlpool, GE, Maytag and Frigidaire common failure parts ride on the van and cover 156 of our tagged jobs here, so those repairs usually finish on the first visit. Samsung and LG refrigerator components are the ones most likely to need ordering, and that is where a second visit comes from.
Six of our seven Bosch jobs are dishwashers, which is the premium kitchen tail on the Cobb side showing up in the data. Our national write-up on the most-serviced appliance brands explains what these counts do and do not say about reliability.
🚚 Acworth is on our northwest route off I-75, the same run as Kennesaw, Marietta and Woodstock, so the van is usually within reach. Refrigerator and freezer calls get priority because food loss is on the clock.
Do We Cover Your Address? Acworth by ZIP
Acworth has two ZIP codes and we cover both at the same price. They are not the same place, though, and which one you are in tells you something about what is likely to break and how the house is built.
| Area | Part of the city | Our jobs | Housing units | Median home value | Primary county |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Acworth west and south | Acworth west and south, downtown, the Lake Acworth side, out toward Dallas and Powder Springs | 355 | 22,616 | $412,400 | Cobb |
| Acworth north and east across Lake Allatoona toward Woodstock and Bartow County | Acworth north and east across Lake Allatoona toward Woodstock and Bartow County | 176 | 16,468 | $333,000 | Cherokee |
the Cobb County side covers 41 square miles and the Cherokee County side covers 31, and between them they take in parts of four counties, Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow and Paulding. The practical consequence for a repair is not the county line itself but what sits on either side of it.
The Cobb side gives us more refrigerator work, 70 jobs against 37, and more dishwasher work, 44 against 20, which fits kitchens built around built-in equipment.
The Cherokee side is where our more expensive refrigerator repairs land, a with-a-part median of $433 against $399, because the ones we are called to there tend to be the failures people cannot ignore rather than the ones they notice early. Same $99 diagnostic, same warranty, same phone number on both sides.
For anyone checking a postal address rather than a neighbourhood name: the two Acworth ZIP codes are 30101 and 30102, and both are covered at the same price with no travel surcharge.
Around Acworth
The northwest corridor is a single set of routes for us. Marietta is our largest Georgia city by volume at 1,257 jobs, straight down I-75. Woodstock, 527 jobs, and Canton, 529, sit across the Cherokee County line on the same run. Kennesaw, 417 jobs, is the next exit south. West of us in Paulding County we run the same full cluster in Dallas. North up Interstate 75 is Cartersville, our largest file outside the metro core and the second dearest refrigerator figure in Georgia at $500. South down Interstate 75 is Kennesaw, the second most Samsung-heavy city in our Georgia book.
Further out we cover Cartersville, 208, Dallas, 334, and Powder Springs, 275, on the same day when the schedule lines up. The full metro picture is on appliance repair in Atlanta.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Fridge warm, freezer still cold, or nothing cold and the unit is silent — evaporator fan or defrost system at the cheap end, start relay in the middle, compressor or main board at the expensive end. Acworth’s widest price band and its biggest invoices. Background: refrigerator not cooling and the correct refrigerator temperature.
- Washer will not drain, or walks across the floor on spin — drain pump or a clogged pump filter, worn suspension, an unbalanced load. Check the free list first: nearly half our Acworth washer visits find no failed part. See why a washer will not drain and washing machine out of balance.
- Dishwasher leaves standing water, or the glasses come out filmed — filter, disposal and air gap before anything else, then the drain pump, the circulation motor or a fill valve carrying lake-water sediment. Also dishwasher leaking from the bottom.
- Dryer runs but the clothes are still damp — the vent first, then the heating element, a thermal fuse or a thermostat. Eight of our ten paid Acworth dryer visits needed a part. Also dryer not heating.
- Oven will not reach temperature, or a gas burner clicks without lighting — bake element, igniter on gas ranges, temperature sensor, or the control board after a storm. Read oven temperature off when you book, because a 25 to 30 degree swing is normal.
- Ice maker producing nothing, or a garage freezer losing ground every July — fill valve, a frozen fill tube, or a condenser coil furred with garage dust. Company-wide numbers on ice maker repair.
Repair or Replace, in Acworth Numbers
For four of the five categories with a local sample the answer is repair and it is not close. An oven at $306, a dishwasher at $320, a washer at $340 or a dryer at $368, against a new comparable unit plus delivery, haul-away and installation, is a straightforward call, and you keep a machine whose habits you already know.
The refrigerator is where the arithmetic has to be done honestly. At the bottom of the Acworth band, $328 for a fan or a relay on a unit under ten years old, repair wins comfortably.
At the top it stops being obvious: our three largest Acworth refrigerator invoices are compressor replacements at $1,400, $1,400 and $1,250, and company-wide half the customers we quote for a compressor choose a new machine instead.
That is a legitimate answer and we say so when we think it is the right one. The full arithmetic is in the repair versus replacement guide, the approval figures are on appliance repair approval rate, and typical lifespans on how long refrigerators last.

Appliance Repair in Acworth — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Acworth, GA?
The median completed job in Acworth is $280, and $355 once a part is actually replaced, with the part, labor and service call together. Those are medians from 391 paid jobs we have run inside the city. The bottom quarter finishes at $100, which is the diagnostic on visits settled on the spot, and the top quarter starts at $386.
By appliance, the median with a part replaced is $417 on refrigerators, $368 on dryers, $340 on washers, $320 on dishwashers and $306 on ovens and ranges.
Do you cover all of Acworth?
Both, with the same price list and no travel surcharge. 355 of our Acworth jobs are on the Cobb County side, which is primarily Cobb County and covers downtown and the Lake Acworth side, and 176 are on the Cherokee County side, primarily Cherokee County across toward Woodstock and Bartow.
The with-a-part median is $356 on the Cobb County side and $351 on the Cherokee County side, and both get the same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day parts and labor warranty.
What have you actually repaired in Acworth?
531 jobs across 433 households, 391 of them paid. By appliance, paid completed work: refrigerators 86, washers 54, dishwashers 52, ovens and ranges 18, dryers 10, freezers and ice makers 5. Across all of it, Samsung and Whirlpool are tied at 55 tagged jobs each, with GE at 49, Maytag 27, Frigidaire 25 and Bosch 7.
Which Acworth appliances most often need a part?
Dryers, by a clear margin: 80 percent of paid Acworth dryer visits end with a component replaced, against 71 percent on refrigerators and lower again on washers and dishwashers. Across all appliances, 262 of our 391 paid Acworth visits fitted a part.
Water-connected machines are the ones that produce convincing false alarms — kinked hoses, clogged filters, unbalanced loads and disposal knockout plugs among them — which is why we list the checks on each service page and why we do not quote a repair over the phone.
Which power company serves Acworth, and does it matter for appliances?
Three of them do: Acworth Power, the city’s own municipal utility with roughly 8,600 meters, Cobb EMC, a member-owned co-operative with close to 200,000 consumers across five counties, and Georgia Power.
For a repair it matters in one specific way. In late July 2024 a severe thunderstorm left more than 5,000 of Acworth Power’s 8,600 customers without power, with poles down on Logan Road near Highway 92 and on Academy Street.
When power comes back hard after an outage like that, the part that fails is the control board, not the motor or the heating element, and the board is the most expensive routine repair on every appliance we service.
Why are the refrigerator repairs in Acworth so expensive at the top end?
Because the fault decides the bill and Acworth has more than its share of the expensive ones.
The with-a-part median is $417 and the middle half runs from $328 to $520, but the tail is what stands out: our three largest Acworth refrigerator invoices are compressor replacements at $1,400, $1,400 and $1,250, the highest compressor tickets in our Georgia book, plus a diagnostic and pressure test at $998 on sealed-system work.
Everything else on a refrigerator, fans, thermostats, relays and defrost parts, sits between $386 and $564 company-wide. It is the one appliance in this city where we will not guess a price before looking.
Can you come out the same day?
Often, yes. Acworth sits on our northwest route off I-75, the same run as Kennesaw, Marietta and Woodstock, so we are frequently on that side of the metro already. Same-day depends on where the van is when you call, so the earlier in the day you book, the better the odds.
Refrigerator and freezer calls get priority because food loss is on the clock. More on how we handle urgent work is on our same-day and emergency repair page.
