Appliance Repair in Ball Ground, GA
The dishwasher is the one machine we can price from Ball Ground work itself, and it comes out at $291 — among the cheapest local dishwasher figures we publish anywhere. Eleven local repairs sit behind it, with half of them between $265 and $415 and the dearest at $487.
Refrigerators are the opposite story. Nine local refrigerator repairs run to a middle figure of $517, and all three Ball Ground invoices above $1,000 are refrigerators. One machine in this town costs roughly what three dishwasher repairs cost, which is the single most useful thing to know before you call.
Appliance Repair in Ball Ground, GA
Dishwashers, refrigerators, washers, ovens and ice makers across 30107 — the old marble-town centre on Gilmer Ferry Road, the subdivisions off Highway 5 and Ball Ground Highway, and the county addresses running toward Canton and Jasper.
Two Machines, Two Different Conversations
The file opened on 27 March 2023 and holds 126 invoices from 95 households, 21 of them in the last twelve months. Of 91 paid visits, 56 ended with a component fitted. Two commercial accounts have been excluded from every figure on this page.
Across all 56 repairs the median is $344, with a middle half of $291 to $415 and nine in ten under $780. Eight have passed $600 and three have passed $1,000, the ceiling being $1,200 on a refrigerator.
What Appliance Repair Costs in Ball Ground
The dishwasher reaches our threshold of ten local repairs and carries a local price. Everything else takes the company figure, built on thousands of jobs per machine. Each number covers the part, the labor and the call-out together.
| Appliance | Ball Ground jobs | With a part | Figure this page uses | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Dishwasher | 19 | 11 | $291 local | $265 to $415 |
| Washer | 20 | 5 | $365 company | $307 to $427 |
| Refrigerator | 15 | 9 | $390 company | $315 to $498 |
| Oven and range | 9 | 4 | $375 company | $300 to $482 |
| Freezer and ice maker | 1 | 0 | $425 on ice, $375 freezer | ice $332 to $624 |
| Dryer | 0 | 0 | $348 company | $295 to $406 |
There is one more number worth putting beside those two. The bottom quarter of all local repairs starts at $291 — the same figure as the dishwasher median — which tells you that the cheap end of this file is essentially dishwasher and washer work, while everything above the midpoint is refrigerator work. That is a cleaner split than most towns show, and it is why we treat the two machines as separate conversations rather than averaging them into one town price.
Those rows account for 64 of the 126 invoices; the rest carry no appliance tag. The refrigerator sits at nine local repairs, one short of our threshold — and since those nine run above the company figure rather than below it, quoting the company number is the conservative choice until the tenth arrives.
Dishwashers are the busiest real work here 11 REPAIRS FROM 19 CALLS
Nineteen dishwasher calls, eleven of them ending with a part fitted — a better conversion than the washer managed on a similar number of calls. At $291 the local median sits well under the $330 we charge company-wide, and the dearest dishwasher repair in three years is $487.
The failures are the usual short list, and Ball Ground work clusters at the cheap end of it: door latch $306 company-wide, door gasket $316, water inlet valve $330, drain pump $335, heating element $360, control board $375. If the complaint is standing water rather than dirty dishes, the disposal connection and air gap get checked before the pump is condemned.
Every four-figure invoice is a refrigerator 3 OF 3
Nine local refrigerator repairs, a middle figure of $517, and three invoices above $1,000 — $1,200, $1,198 and $1,123. Compare that with the dishwasher ceiling of $487 and the shape of this file becomes obvious: one machine carries almost all the financial risk in it.
Company-wide the ladder behind those numbers runs defrost heater $385, water inlet valve $408, evaporator fan $426, control board $510 and sealed system $580 with a middle half reaching $1,200. Check your settings before booking using refrigerator temperature, and if the whole cabinet is drifting rather than one compartment, signs of a bad compressor explains what the technician will be looking for.
A marble town that tripled in twenty years 730 TO 2,560
Ball Ground grew around a railroad stop built in 1882 and incorporated on 1 January 1883, then spent most of the twentieth century as a marble town before the industry left and the population shrank. It had 730 residents in 2000 and 2,560 at the 2020 census, more than three times as many.
The postal area is far larger than the city: 30107 holds 19,134 people in 6,773 households across 7,061 housing units, 6,081 of them detached houses and 778 manufactured homes. Median household income is $110,811, the median home value $387,600, and the median unit dates from 2000. Every one of our 126 invoices sits inside this code.
Mainstream brands, two premium machines 49 BRANDED JOBS
Whirlpool leads at 13 of the 49 jobs that record a make, then GE at ten, Frigidaire at eight, Maytag at six and Samsung at five. Premium equipment is two jobs — a KitchenAid and a JennAir — about four percent, well under the metro Atlanta figure of 10.3 percent. There is also a Speed Queen, a commercial-grade laundry platform that occasionally turns up in rural households.
A mainstream mix keeps parts cheap and available, which is part of why the dishwasher figure is as low as it is. It also means the expensive outcomes here come from what fails rather than from what badge is on the door.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Dishwasher standing full at the end of a cycle — the drain pump at $335 company-wide, after the disposal knockout plug and air gap are ruled out. The commonest repair we do in this town.
- Dishes coming out gritty — spray arms and filter basket first, then the circulation pump at $381 if wash pressure has genuinely dropped.
- Dishwasher dead at the panel — the door latch at $306 before the control board at $375.
- Fridge section warming while the freezer holds — the evaporator fan at $426 or a defrost fault at $385.
- Both compartments losing cold — the control board at $510 or the sealed system at $580 and up, which is where all three local four-figure invoices came from.
- Water pooling under the refrigerator — the inlet valve at $408 or a blocked defrost drain.
- Washer refusing to drain — the drain pump at $370 across 113 repairs, once the filter and standpipe are cleared.
- Washer walking on the spin — suspension at $367, with one balanced load run first.
- Oven off temperature — a thermometer on the middle rack settles it, then sensor $345, bake element $313, or igniter $350 on gas.
Repair or Replace, on the Ball Ground Numbers
For dishwashers the answer is not close: $291 against $700 and up for a comparable machine delivered and plumbed in, and in a house with fitted cabinetry the replacement is a joinery job as well as a purchase.
Refrigerators are where the decision is real here, and three households have faced it. When a sealed system fails on a cabinet past twelve years we set out both prices instead of recommending one — a $1,200 repair against a new machine is a judgement about how long you expect to keep the appliance. The framework is in the repair or replace guide, with expected service life in how long refrigerators last.

Appliance Repair in Ball Ground — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Ball Ground, GA?
Dishwashers carry a local price of $291 across eleven repairs, with a middle half of $265 to $415. Across all 56 local repairs the median is $344, the middle half runs $291 to $415, and nine in ten come in under $780. Each figure includes the part, the labor and the call-out.
Washers, refrigerators and ovens take the company figures of $365, $390 and $375 because none of them has reached ten local repairs yet.
Why are refrigerators so much dearer than dishwashers here?
Because of what fails. A dishwasher is pumps, valves and latches — parts in the low hundreds. A refrigerator adds a control board at a $510 company median and a sealed system at $580 and up. Locally the nine refrigerator repairs run to a middle of $517 and all three invoices above $1,000 are refrigerators, against a dishwasher ceiling of $487.
Do you repair dryers in Ball Ground?
Yes, though our file here contains none — 126 invoices and not one dryer, which is unusual and which we cannot explain. Dryer work is quoted from the company book: the heating element at $346 across 102 repairs, the thermostat at $350, the drive belt at $324, the control board at $478.
Which appliance do you see most here?
Washers bring the most calls at 20, but dishwashers produce the most repairs: 19 calls and eleven parts fitted. Refrigerators follow at 15 calls and nine repairs, ovens at nine calls.
Which brands do you service?
Whirlpool at 13 of the 49 jobs that record a make, then GE at ten, Frigidaire at eight, Maytag at six and Samsung at five. Premium equipment is two jobs, a KitchenAid and a JennAir. We also see the occasional Speed Queen.
Do you cover addresses outside the city limits?
Yes — the city had 2,560 residents at the last census while postal code 30107 holds 19,134, so most of our work here is unincorporated Cherokee County. All of it is charged at the same rate, site-built and manufactured homes alike.
How far out is Ball Ground for you?
It is the northern end of our Cherokee County route, past Canton on Highway 5. Next-day appointments are normal and same-day happens when a van is already working up this way. No distance charge is added, and members go to the front of the queue at 24 to 48 hours.
What does the $99 diagnostic cover?
A technician at the address, a fault found by testing rather than guesswork, and a firm price before any work starts — then the fee is credited against the invoice when you approve it. Joined units, a stacked laundry pair or a double wall oven, are $150. Ninety days on parts and labor follow every repair.
