Appliance Repair in Cumming GA
Appliance repair in Cumming, GA has a median cost of $260 in Bozmanfix records per completed visit, and $373 once a part is actually replaced. Those come from 667 jobs we have run inside the three Cumming ZIP codes for 575 households, 484 of which closed as paid work.
That is deep enough that five of the six appliances below rest on dozens of local invoices rather than a handful.
What the record says about this place is unusual: Forsyth County is the wealthiest county in Georgia, and most homes here are owner-occupied, so the person who hears the price is the person who decides.
Cumming technicians also write more onto the invoice than anywhere else we work, which is why the component prices further down this page are unusually specific. All three ZIP codes get the same price list and no travel surcharge, the Bozmanfix diagnostic is $99 and comes off the bill when you approve the work, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Refrigerator, dishwasher, washer, dryer, oven, freezer and ice maker. You get the total before the technician starts, and most Cumming repairs are finished on the first visit.
What Appliance Repair Costs in Cumming, GA
Every figure below comes from our own completed Cumming invoices, with the part, the labor and the service call added into one number. The first price column is the median across all paid jobs. The second is what it costs when the machine genuinely needs a component.
The last column is the sample behind each figure, so you can see how much local work stands behind it.
| Appliance | Median, all paid jobs | Median with a part replaced | Middle half | Jobs with a part (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $280 | $384 | $320 to $544 | 52 |
| Washer | $168 | $384 | $291 to $431 | 27 |
| Oven and range | $225 | $370 | $335 to $400 | 13 |
| Dryer | $298 | $325 | $295 to $384 | 13 |
| Dishwasher | $185 | $300 | $260 to $363 | 35 |
| Freezer and ice maker | Sixteen Cumming jobs · priced from our company figures with a part: $417 ice maker, $385 freezer. That file covers an unusual range of machine types, set out on that page. | |||
Two things stand out on this table. The first is how flat the middle of it is: four of the five appliances with a usable sample land between $300 and $384 with a part replaced, and the middle half of all with-a-part work in Cumming is $295 to $450.
The second is the refrigerator, which breaks upward, with a middle half running to $544 and 49 of the 667 Bozmanfix jobs in Cumming above $500, among them two compressor replacements at $1,000 and $872, and a Kenmore refrigerator at $1,247.
The sealed system is the only place in this city where the diagnosis changes the arithmetic rather than the price. Company-wide context is on how much appliance repair costs in Atlanta, and why we publish two price columns instead of one is explained in how appliance repair pricing works.
Why Cumming Appliances Break the Way They Do
Cumming was incorporated in 1834 and chartered in 1845, is the county seat and the only city in Forsyth County, and sits 39 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta on the western shore of Lake Lanier.
The city itself is small, 7,318 people in 2020 across 7.19 square miles, and growing fast – the 2025 estimate is 12,494 – while the three ZIP codes that carry a Cumming address hold 68,280 housing units between them.
Our 667 jobs against that is 9.8 per thousand homes, against 23.5 in Conyers, 14.9 in Stone Mountain and 11.2 in Jonesboro. Here is what a technician actually finds behind the doors.
The newest housing stock we work in, all aging out at once 44,083 → 251,283
Forsyth County held 11,005 people in 1950, 12,170 in 1960, 16,928 in 1970, 27,958 in 1980 and 44,083 in 1990. Then it went to 98,407 in 2000, 175,511 in 2010 and 251,283 in 2020, which made it the fastest-growing county in Georgia and the fifteenth fastest-growing in the United States between 2010 and 2019.
Read that as a building record and the decisive two decades were 1995 to 2015. Jonesboro built its bulk between 1960 and 1980; Conyers between 1975 and 2000; Cumming a full generation later than either. That is why the work here does not look like an old-house route.
There is almost no 1970s equipment to find, and instead a very large cohort of builder-installed appliances that all went in within a few years of each other and are now all fifteen to twenty-five years old at the same time.
It is also why the dishwasher is such a large part of what we do here, and why the two premium badges we meet – Bosch on dishwashers, KitchenAid and Viking on built-ins – belong to that same 2000s build-out rather than to old money.
Georgia’s wealthiest county, and what that does to a repair quote 82.1 PERCENT OWNERS
At the 2020 census Forsyth County recorded a median household income of $112,834, making it the wealthiest county in Georgia and the sixteenth-wealthiest in the United States, and its housing was 82.1 percent owner-occupied against 17.9 percent renter. Our three ZIP codes run 13 to 16 percent renters and median home values of $470,800, $526,100 and $574,300.
That changes the conversation in a way we can measure rather than guess at. In a rental the tenant calls and the landlord decides, and the machine often gets swapped for whatever is cheapest.
Here the person standing next to the technician is the owner, they hear the number, and the decision is theirs, made on an accurate price. It also explains the low call rate: 9.8 jobs per thousand homes in a county where replacement is always on the table.
One lake, one intake, and the city owns it 24 MGD · 935 DAHLONEGA HWY
Every drop of water in these three ZIP codes starts in Lake Lanier, a 37,000-acre reservoir that forms the county’s eastern edge. The City of Cumming pumps raw lake water and treats it at its own 24 million gallon per day Potable Water Production Facility at 935 Dahlonega Highway.
Cumming Utilities dates itself to an act of the Georgia General Assembly in 1835; it ran wells downtown, then built three small dams on local creeks and a treatment plant in the early 1940s, upgrading it in 1959, 1969 and 1979 – and it was the 1979 upgrade that came with the county’s first Lake Lanier withdrawal contract from the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The plant went to 18 MGD in 1998 and 24 MGD in 2007, with 36 MGD planned by 2050.
Here is the part almost nobody outside the water business knows: the City of Cumming is the sole provider of raw water to the entire county. Forsyth County built its own treatment plant in 1998 but buys raw water through the city’s single intake, which is why the county is now spending on a new intake of its own feeding the Antioch treatment plant.
What it means for your kitchen is simple and rare: there is no well-versus-city split here and no two-utility patchwork, so every refrigerator, ice maker and dishwasher on this route is fed water of exactly the same character.
What the water report does and does not say SODIUM 7.9 PPM
Because there is one source, we can be precise about it.
The 2026 Cumming Utilities water quality report, covering tests run in 2025 on public water system GA1170000, records sodium at 7.9 ppm, fluoride at 1.20 ppm, nitrate and nitrite at 0.37 ppm, turbidity at 0.09 NTU, total organic carbon at 1.3 ppm, total trihalomethanes at 0.045 ppm and haloacetic acids at 0.038 ppm, with no Safe Drinking Water Act violations.
It does not report a hardness figure.
What we can say from Bozmanfix invoices is where a refrigerator meets the supply and what it costs when it fails there: an inlet water valve at $792 and $509 on two local jobs, an ice maker valve and board together at $495, an ice maker auger motor at $431. Filter guidance is on refrigerator water filter replacement.
The power company was born here, and it is a co-op SAWNEE EMC · 1938
Electricity across most of Forsyth County comes from Sawnee EMC, which was incorporated on 16 July 1938 as the Forsyth County Electric Membership Corporation and still has its headquarters at 543 Atlanta Road in Cumming.
It began in 1939 serving roughly 750 homes over 163 miles of line; as of 2022 it served 193,491 member accounts across seven counties over 11,982 miles of line, making it the third-largest electric cooperative in Georgia and the eighth-largest in the country.
A co-op grid of that shape is mostly overhead line through wooded, hilly terrain, and every restoration after an outage is a surge event for a control board on a machine that stayed plugged in through the whole thing – a refrigerator, in other words, which is the one appliance nobody unplugs.
Boards are the largest single family of named parts in the Bozmanfix Cumming record: control boards replaced at $560, $558 and, on one GE job, a temperature sensor, a main control board and both fresh-food and freezer defrost heater assemblies on the same invoice at $540, plus a condenser fan at $556.
A whole-house surge protector costs less than any one of them. More in control board and smart appliance repair.
Cumming is a dishwasher town, and no other city we publish is 14.4 PERCENT
96 of our 667 Cumming jobs are dishwashers, 14.4 percent of everything we do here and the highest dishwasher share of any city we publish – against 12.6 percent in Peachtree City, 11.7 percent in Marietta, 9.0 percent in Decatur and 5.7 percent in Jonesboro.
In absolute terms only Marietta, a seven-ZIP city, gives us more dishwasher work. That is the 2000s build-out showing up in one appliance: a house finished in 2005 got an integrated dishwasher in 2005, and twenty years is exactly when a circulation pump, a control board or a door seal starts to go.
The brand mix follows: Whirlpool 21 jobs, GE 14, Bosch 11, Samsung 9, then KitchenAid and Viking.
The Cumming dishwasher median with a part replaced is $300, below the $338 Bozmanfix bills across its whole service area.
🚚 Cumming is a standing route, not a special trip. 142 jobs here in the last twelve months across all three ZIP codes, so the van is usually somewhere on the GA-400 corridor already.
Do We Cover Your Address? Cumming by ZIP
Cumming has three ZIP codes and we cover all three at the same price. They are genuinely different places – one of them contains nearly nine square miles of Lake Lanier – and the amount of work we do in each tracks the housing far more closely than the money does.
| Area | Our jobs | Housing units | Median home value | Median income | With a part |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Forsyth, out to the Cherokee and Dawson county lines | 121 | 12,122 | $470,800 | $138,011 | $359 |
| Cumming west and south, the GA-400 growth corridor | 259 | 28,538 | $526,100 | $137,211 | $380 |
| Cumming east, along the Lake Lanier shoreline | 287 | 27,620 | $574,300 | $152,564 | $379 |
Housing, value and income figures are 2024 American Community Survey data via zip-codes.com. Set our job counts against the housing units and the three ZIPs are remarkably close: 10.4 jobs per thousand homes in 30041, 10.0 in 30028 and 9.1 in 30040. In the three Georgia clusters we published before this one, the differences between ZIP codes tracked how many people owned their homes rather than what they earned.
In Cumming all three ZIP codes are 84 to 87 percent owner-occupied, so tenure does not separate them.
What the numbers do show is that the wealthiest ZIP, 30041 with a median income of $152,564, calls slightly more often than the least wealthy, not less, and that the with-a-part medians sit within $21 of each other across samples of 59, 97 and 124 jobs. Price does not move with the postcode here; the diagnosis moves it.
Two practical notes on geography. 30041 holds 8.835 square miles of water, which is Lake Lanier inside the ZIP boundary, and lakeside houses bring a specific kind of work: a second refrigerator or a chest freezer in a boathouse, a garage or an unconditioned basement, running against summer heat with no one watching it.
If yours is one of those, say so when you book. And 30028 on the west side reaches into Cherokee and Dawson counties, so a Cumming mailing address there can sit outside Forsyth entirely – it makes no difference to our scheduling or to the price.

West over the Cherokee line are Canton 529, Woodstock 527 and Ball Ground 129, and north into Dawson County, Dawsonville at 118. The nearest full city cluster we publish is Marietta, 1,257 jobs; further east is Winder. The whole metro picture is on appliance repair in Atlanta.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Refrigerator warming up while the freezer still freezes, or water pooling under the crispers – a blocked defrost drain or a failed evaporator fan at the cheap end, a control board or the sealed system at the top. The Bozmanfix Cumming invoices run from a $358 drain and coil clean to control boards at $540 to $560 and compressors above $870. Background in refrigerator not cooling in Atlanta, and check the correct refrigerator temperature when you book.
- Dishwasher leaves standing water, or the dishes come out gritty – the sump filter, the disposal knockout plug and the drain hose loop, then a pump at $326 or a water pressure sensor at $200 on local jobs. Also dishwasher not cleaning dishes.
- Washer squealing on the spin, walking across the floor, or leaking – a squeal that arrives with the spin is the tub bearing, which two Cumming diagnostics name outright; walking is suspension rods, quoted here at $389.27 and fitted on another job at $395; leaking on a front-loader is the door boot, replaced at $302 and $225. See washing machine out of balance and why a washer will not drain in Atlanta.
- Dryer runs but the clothes are still damp, or it will not heat – the element, replaced at $425 here, a timer at $365, a thermistor at $150, or a vent that is choking the machine. One Cumming invoice records exactly that test, with the duct disconnected and the dryer run for forty minutes to separate a vent fault from a heating fault. Also dryer not heating and dryer heating element replacement cost.
- Oven will not heat, or a gas burner clicks without lighting – an igniter, replaced at $335 on a Cumming job and named again on a diagnostic where the gas valve was fluctuating open and closed. There is no separate charge for calibration and never has been. Read gas stove burner will not light and oven temperature off.
- Ice maker empty or slow, or a freezer running without freezing – a fill valve, a frozen fill tube, an ice maker module, or the defrost system behind it. We quote Bozmanfix company-wide figures here: $417 with a part on ice makers, $385 on freezers. See ice maker repair and freezer frost buildup.
- Any machine that has started tripping its breaker, or is noisier than it was last month – stop resetting the breaker and book it. One Cumming dishwasher invoice is a melted wire and a full rewire reset at $372, another a poor internal connection that was starving the control panel of power at $185. Noise is a separate language and it is decoded in what appliance noises mean.
Which Brands We See in Cumming
Across the Cumming jobs where we recorded a brand, the tags run Samsung 84, Whirlpool 70, GE 46, Maytag 25, Frigidaire 21, LG 9, Bosch 9, KitchenAid 6, Amana 5 and Kenmore 4, with Viking, Thermador, Electrolux, Zline, Roper, Haier and Adora appearing in ones and twos.
Samsung leads this city, which matters mostly for how long you wait rather than what you pay: Whirlpool, GE, Maytag, Frigidaire, Amana and Kenmore common parts ride on the van and those repairs usually finish the day the technician arrives, while Samsung, LG and anything built in is normally ordered, and you get the lead time before you approve the work.
By appliance the picture changes shape sharply. Refrigerators are a three-way contest – Whirlpool 20, GE 20, Samsung 18, then Frigidaire 12 – with one clear pattern inside it: ten Frigidaire refrigerator repairs at a $329 median.
Dishwashers are Whirlpool 21, GE 14, Bosch 11 and Samsung 9, and the two Viking dishwashers are the most expensive dishwasher work in the city at a $526 median. Washers are Samsung 19, Whirlpool 13, Maytag 10 and LG 7. Dryers, on a file of 30, are Samsung 12 – the heaviest single-brand concentration anywhere in this cluster.
Ovens and ranges spread across many brands, none above five jobs, with single appearances from Zline, Viking and KitchenAid. What brand counts do and do not say about reliability is set out on the most-serviced appliance brands.
Repair or Replace, on the Cumming Numbers
For four of the five categories priced locally, repair wins on the arithmetic and it is not close. A dishwasher at $300, a dryer at $325, an oven at $370 or a washer at $384, set against a comparable new machine plus delivery, haul-away and installation, is straightforward, and you keep a machine whose quirks you already know.
The refrigerator is where the thinking has to happen, and Cumming gives us an unusually clear record of how that conversation ends. Below about $500 the answer is easy: a fan, a defrost heater, a drain, a valve, on a machine with most of its life in front of it.
Above it the record turns into compressors – $1,000 and $872 replaced on two jobs, a Kenmore at $1,247.
Past about twelve years on a standard unit we put the repair price and the replacement cost side by side. The full arithmetic is in the repair versus replacement guide, typical service lives on how long refrigerators last, and the month-by-month pattern of when things actually fail on when appliances break.

Appliance Repair in Cumming – Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Cumming, GA?
The median completed Bozmanfix visit in Cumming is $260, and $373 once a part is actually replaced, counting the part, the labor and the service call together. Those are medians from 484 paid jobs inside the three Cumming ZIP codes. Only 49 jobs out of 667 crossed $500.
By appliance, the median with a part replaced is $384 on refrigerators, $384 on washers, $373 on ovens and ranges, $325 on dryers and $300 on dishwashers. For freezers and ice makers we quote the Bozmanfix company-wide $417 and $385 there.
Do you cover all three Cumming ZIP codes?
All three, at the same price list and with no travel surcharge. 287 of our Cumming jobs are in 30041 along the Lake Lanier shoreline, 259 in 30040 on the GA-400 corridor and 121 in 30028 out in west Forsyth toward the Cherokee and Dawson county lines.
The Bozmanfix median with a part replaced is $379, $380 and $359 respectively, on samples of 124, 97 and 59 jobs, which is close enough that we will not read a story into the gap. The same $99 diagnostic and the same 90-day parts and labor warranty apply in all three, and with 142 jobs here in the last twelve months Cumming is a standing route rather than a special trip.
What happens at a Cumming diagnostic visit?
The technician names the fault and gives you a firm price before any work starts. Nobody pays for a part they do not need.
What have you actually repaired in Cumming?
667 Bozmanfix jobs across 575 households, 484 of them paid. By appliance the tagged work is refrigerators 117, dishwashers 96, washers 76, ovens and ranges 39, dryers 30 and freezers or ice makers 16, with the balance on jobs where nobody recorded which machine it was.
142 of the 667 fall in the last twelve months. The dishwasher share, 14.4 percent of everything, is the highest of any city we publish. The laundry side is the newest part of the route: 23 of our 30 dryer jobs are from the last twelve months.
Is Cumming water hard enough to damage an appliance?
The supply here is unusually simple.
Every drop in these three ZIP codes comes from Lake Lanier, pumped and treated by the City of Cumming at its own 24 million gallon per day plant on Dahlonega Highway, and the city is the sole provider of raw water to the whole county.
There are no wells and no second utility, so every appliance here is fed water of the same character. The 2026 water quality report, from tests run in 2025, records sodium at 7.9 ppm, turbidity at 0.09 NTU and total organic carbon at 1.3 ppm, with no violations.
Change a refrigerator filter when the flow drops or the cubes shrink, not when the calendar says so.
What does the $99 diagnostic include?
A meter on the machine and a firm total before any work starts. The technician tests the actual fault rather than guessing from the symptom, so the part that goes in is the part that failed. The diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair the moment you approve the work, which means an approved job never pays it twice.
You also get the lead time up front on any part that has to be ordered, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty. In Cumming the Bozmanfix median repair once a part is replaced is $373, so you have a good idea of the number before anyone arrives.
Can you come out the same day in Cumming?
Yes, same-day visits are available. With 142 jobs here in the last twelve months across all three ZIP codes, a van is already on the GA-400 corridor, so same-day comes down to where it is when you call and how early in the day you book. Refrigerator and freezer calls get priority because food loss is on a clock.
Whirlpool, GE, Maytag and Frigidaire parts ride on the van and cover a large share of our Cumming work; Samsung is the leading brand in this city and Samsung, LG and built-in components are the ones most often ordered, so we tell you the lead time before you approve anything. More on how we handle urgent work is on our same-day and emergency repair page.
