Appliance Repair in Duluth, GA
Appliance repair in Duluth, GA runs a median of $335 once a part is actually replaced. That comes from 318 jobs at Duluth addresses across 268 households since February 2023, 220 of which finished as paid work and 110 of which involved replacing a real component.
The order of the appliances here is upside down. In Duluth the dishwasher is the dearest of the three kitchen and laundry staples at $396, ahead of the washer at $342 and the oven at $310 — and the oven is not just the cheapest, it is the steadiest repair we do anywhere in Georgia.

What Appliance Repair Actually Costs in Duluth
| Appliance | Median with a part | Middle half | Band width | Parts fitted (n) | Paid (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $417 | $310 to $530 | $220 | 21 | 32 |
| Dishwasher | $396 | $260 to $438 | $178 | 14 | 26 |
| Washer | $342 | $324 to $385 | $61 | 12 | 26 |
| Oven and range | $310 | $275 to $325 | $50 | 10 | 18 |
| Dryer | $348 | $295 to $406 | — | 1,301-repair company base | |
| Freezer and ice maker | $375 and $425 | $295 to $492 | — | 444-repair company base | |
The dishwasher sitting above both the washer and the oven is unusual. In the other Georgia cities we have written up the oven is normally at or near the top of that group; here it is at the bottom, and by a clear margin. What lifts the dishwasher is the component mix rather than any local price: company-wide a dishwasher circulation pump is $381 and a control board $375, against a drain pump at $335, and the Duluth jobs lean toward the two dearer of those three.
Every figure in that table is a whole invoice rather than a parts price: the component, the labour to fit it and the call-out, added up. The dryer and ice maker rows come from the whole company book, 1,301 and 444 repairs, because that is a steadier base than our Duluth counts for those two. Commercial accounts are excluded from everything on this page.
Why Duluth Behaves This Way
Duluth is a Gwinnett County city of 31,873 residents in 10.22 square miles, roughly 30 miles north-east of Atlanta and just north of Interstate 85, bounded on its north side by the Chattahoochee River, which is also the county line. The 2020 census counted 13,141 housing units and 12,501 households. Four things in our record are worth pointing at, and we can explain three of them.
Premium appliances are commoner here than anywhere else we work in Georgia 8.3 PERCENT OF BRANDED JOBS
Across 133 branded Duluth jobs the mainstream order is Samsung 41, Whirlpool 30, GE 17, Maytag 10, Frigidaire 8 and LG 7. What separates this city is the tail: Bosch 6, Viking 3, Miele 1 and Thermador 1 — eleven premium jobs, 8.3 percent of the branded work.
We measured that share across thirteen Georgia cities. The next highest is Fayetteville at 5.7 percent and Marietta at 4.8; most of the metro sits between 2 and 3 percent, and two of the cities we have written up recently are at 1.0 and 0.9. Duluth is the outlier by a distance.
Premium equipment is a different repair economy — different parts channels, different access, different lead times. Where the make warrants it we have separate pages for it just across the river: Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ranges, Thermador and Wolf. If you own one of those, start there rather than here.
October and November are the busiest months, three years running WE CANNOT TELL YOU WHY
Pooled across 2023, 2024 and 2025 the two heaviest months in our Duluth record are November at 11.7 percent of the year and October at 11.4, against the 8.3 percent an even spread would give a single month. December at 5.7 and February at 5.3 are the floor.
It holds year by year rather than only in the pool, which is the test that usually kills a seasonal claim. October and November took 21.9 percent of 2023, 23.0 percent of 2024 and 25.0 percent of 2025, and a neutral share for two months is 16.7.
We do not have an explanation for it. There is no move-in cycle here of the kind that drives the August peak on our Athens page, and nothing in the housing or the weather that we can point to honestly. Three independent years say the same thing and we are reporting it as an observation, not as a theory.
Both Duluth postal areas are shared with other named places IN OUR RECORDS, DULUTH ANYWAY
On paper neither postal area belongs to Duluth alone. One of them is also delivered as Berkeley Lake and Peachtree Corners, the other as Johns Creek and Peachtree Corners. Between them they cover 46.272 square miles, about 120,261 people and 47,859 housing units — against a city of 31,873 in 10.22 square miles.
In practice our own work barely notices. Of 152 jobs in the first area, 149 were at Duluth addresses; of 182 in the second, 173 were. Nine Johns Creek addresses, two Berkeley Lake and one Peachtree Corners is the entire overlap in three and a half years.
So the numbers on this page really are Duluth numbers, not a postal-area average. And if your mail says Berkeley Lake, Peachtree Corners or Johns Creek, you are on the same route at the same rate card regardless.
The refrigerator is the only appliance here with a wide answer $310 TO $530 FOR THE MIDDLE HALF
Set the refrigerator against the rest of the table and the contrast is stark: a $220 band where the washer runs $61 and the oven $50. Seven of our 32 paid Duluth refrigerator visits reached $500 or more.
The split is the usual one and it is worth knowing which side you are on before you call. Airflow and defrost faults — evaporator fan at $426 company-wide, defrost heater at $385, damper and control below those — keep the job in the lower part of the band. Sealed-system work is what pushes past $500, and company-wide the compressor sits at $580 with a middle half running from $354 to $1,200.
The tell is the freezer. Still frozen while the fresh-food side warms means airflow. Both compartments drifting with the cabinet hot at the back means the sealed system. Background: refrigerator not cooling and signs of a bad compressor.
67 of our 318 Duluth jobs landed in the last twelve months, across 268 households. Duluth sits on our standing Gwinnett run and slots on it usually hold until mid-morning. Book online or call (470) 777-7697.
Do We Cover Your Address?
Two postal areas carry Duluth mail, both inside Gwinnett County, both on the same rate card with no travel surcharge between them. Our two working Duluth ZIP codes are 30096 and 30097.
| Postal area | People | Duluth jobs | Households | Last 12 months | Median with a part | Also delivered as |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| The larger by population | 69,953 | 147 | 132 | 28 | $335 | Berkeley Lake, Peachtree Corners |
| The other | 50,308 | 171 | 137 | 39 | $342 | Johns Creek, Peachtree Corners |
The smaller area by population is the busier one for us: 171 Duluth jobs against 147, and 39 of the last twelve months against 28. Per thousand residents that is 3.4 against 2.1, a gap wide enough to be structural rather than noise. The two medians, on the other hand, are $7 apart, so wherever you are in Duluth the money looks the same.
Every address in both areas gets the $99 diagnostic credited against the repair when you approve it, and 90 days of warranty on parts and labor afterwards.
Around Duluth
Duluth sits in the middle of our Gwinnett coverage, with the Chattahoochee on one side and Interstate 85 on the other. South of us on the same road is Norcross, 168 jobs, whose postal name covers three ZIP codes and two different cities. The complete list of Georgia cities is on our Georgia service area, and the metro pricing frame in what appliance repair costs in Atlanta. Dropping west off the corridor brings us to Dunwoody, whose premium built-in share is the third-highest in our Georgia book. South-west down Peachtree Industrial is Peachtree Corners, the largest city in Gwinnett County. West across the river is Johns Creek, where built-in refrigerators and double wall ovens are most of the expensive work.
North up I-85 the same van runs Suwanee, 275 jobs on its own page, and then Buford on the Lanier side. East is Lawrenceville and below it Snellville and Loganville. Across the river to the north-west the premium work is covered by our Johns Creek pages, including refrigerator repair in Johns Creek.
Know the appliance already? Each has a metro page with the component pricing behind these bands: dishwashers, refrigerators, ovens and ranges, washers, dryers, ice makers and freezers, cooktops.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Dishwasher leaving water, or running a cycle without cleaning anything — this is our dearest kitchen repair in Duluth at $396. The circulation pump at $381 company-wide and the control board at $375 are what put it there, with the drain pump at $335 below them. Tell us whether the machine drains at all; that single answer usually picks between the three. See a dishwasher that will not drain.
- Oven off temperature or a burner failing to catch — our cheapest and most predictable Duluth job, half of them between $275 and $325. Igniter $350 company-wide, sensor $345, bake element $313. Read us a thermometer on the middle shelf at 350 when you book. See gas burner will not light.
- Fresh-food side warm, freezer still cold — airflow or defrost, the lower part of the refrigerator band. Evaporator fan $426 company-wide, defrost heater $385. See refrigerator not cooling and the correct refrigerator temperature.
- Both fridge compartments warming, back of the cabinet hot — sealed system, and the part of the band above $500. On a premium or built-in unit say so when you book; the parts channel is different. See signs of a bad compressor.
- Washer stopping full of water or refusing to spin out — drain pump $370 company-wide, suspension $367, door latch $354. Duluth washers land inside a $61 band, so this is another one we can price closely on the call. See washing machine out of balance.
- Dryer finishing its cycle on a wet load — with twelve Duluth jobs on the books we quote the company base for this one: heating element $346, thermostat $350, drive belt $324. A vent run that has closed up produces the same complaint and costs nothing in parts. See dryer not heating.
- Ice maker silent while the water dispenser works — supply is fine, so the module, the fill tube or the filter. See ice maker not making ice.
Repair or Replace, on the Duluth Numbers
A repair at $335 against a mid-market replacement from roughly $700 for a washer to $1,600 for a refrigerator makes the everyday decision for you. In Duluth the case is stronger than usual on two appliances specifically: the oven, where half our repairs land between $275 and $325, and the washer, where the band is $324 to $385. Neither is close to replacement money.
The dishwasher is dearer here than in most of the metro at $396, but the comparison still holds — a mid-market dishwasher starts around $600 to $900 installed, and the repair is well under half of it in the great majority of cases.
The refrigerator is the one that can go either way, and the deciding component is the compressor: $580 company-wide with a middle half running $354 to $1,200. Seven of 32 paid Duluth refrigerator visits reached $500 or more. On a unit past ten years old that is a real decision, and on a premium or built-in unit it is a different one again, because replacing built-in equipment means matching a cabinet opening rather than wheeling a new box into place.
Work it through with the repair or replace guide, check the age question against how long refrigerators last, and every company figure quoted above is in appliance repair parts cost.

Appliance Repair in Duluth — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Duluth, GA?
The median once a part is actually replaced is $335, part and labor and the service call in one number, with half of those jobs between $289 and $402. That comes from 220 paid jobs at Duluth addresses, 110 of which involved a component replacement. The dearest tenth of our work here starts at $454.
By appliance the median with a part fitted is $417 on refrigerators, $396 on dishwashers, $342 on washers and $310 on ovens and ranges. For dryers and ice makers we quote the company base, $348 and $425.
Why is the dishwasher dearer than the oven here?
Because of which parts fail, not because of any local pricing. Company-wide a dishwasher circulation pump is $381 and a control board $375, against a drain pump at $335; our Duluth dishwasher jobs lean toward the two dearer components. On the oven side the common failures are an igniter at $350, a sensor at $345 and a bake element at $313.
The result is an order you do not see in the rest of the metro: dishwasher $396, washer $342, oven $310. In most Georgia cities we cover, the oven sits at or near the top of that group instead of the bottom.
Can you quote an oven repair over the phone?
Closer than almost anywhere. Ten Duluth oven repairs with a part fitted, half of them between $275 and $325, and none has reached $500. That is the tightest band we have measured on any appliance in any city.
The firm number still comes from the visit, because the $99 diagnostic is what puts a technician and a meter on the machine. But if you tell us the symptom and what a thermometer reads on the middle shelf, the range we give you on the call will be narrow and it will hold.
Do you work on Sub-Zero, Viking, Thermador and Wolf in Duluth?
Yes, and Duluth needs asking more than most of our cities. Premium makes are 14 of 134 branded jobs here, 10.4 percent — Bosch 6, KitchenAid 3, Viking 3, Miele 1 and Thermador 1. Across thirteen Georgia cities we measured, the next highest is 5.7 percent and most sit between 2 and 3.
Those repairs run on different parts channels and different lead times, so we keep separate pages for them just across the river in Johns Creek, covering Sub-Zero refrigerators, Viking ranges, Thermador and Wolf. If that is your appliance, start on the page for the make.
Which Duluth areas do you cover?
Both postal areas, 30096 and 30097, at the same price with nothing added for distance between them. Neither belongs to Duluth alone on paper: one is also delivered as Berkeley Lake and Peachtree Corners, the other as Johns Creek and Peachtree Corners.
In our own work that overlap is tiny. Of 152 jobs in the first area 149 were at Duluth addresses, and of 182 in the second 173 were. If your mail reads Berkeley Lake, Peachtree Corners or Johns Creek, you are on the same route and the same rate card.
When is your busiest time of year in Duluth?
October and November, and unusually for us the pattern survives being checked year by year rather than only in a pooled average. Those two months took 21.9 percent of 2023, 23.0 percent of 2024 and 25.0 percent of 2025, where a neutral share for two months is 16.7. Across the three years pooled, November is 11.7 percent of the year and October 11.4, with December at 5.7 and February at 5.3 as the floor.
We cannot tell you why. There is no move-in cycle here of the kind behind the August peak in Athens, and nothing in the local housing or weather that we would stand behind as an explanation. We publish it as an observation because three separate years agree, and we would rather report the pattern than invent a cause for it.
What have you actually repaired in Duluth?
318 jobs across 268 households since February 2023, 220 of them paid. By appliance, all recorded work: refrigerators 50, dishwashers 40, washers 35, ovens and ranges 21, dryers 12, freezers and ice makers 6. Across 134 branded jobs the order is Samsung 41, Whirlpool 30, GE 17, Maytag 10, Frigidaire 8, LG 7 and Bosch 6.
67 of those jobs fall in the last twelve months, and both 2024 and 2025 carried work in every month of the year, with 2023 complete from February. That depth is what lets us publish a seasonal pattern here and quote medians appliance by appliance.
