Appliance Repair in Marietta GA

Bozmanfix repairs refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens, ranges, cooktops, freezers and ice makers throughout Marietta, Georgia — every ZIP from 30008 and 30060 near the Square to 30064 by Kennesaw Mountain and the 30062 / 30066 / 30068 corridor on the east side. We have completed 1,257 jobs in Marietta, and across the 913 that finished as paid repairs the typical ticket is $287, parts, labor and the service call included. Diagnostic is $99 and it is applied to the repair when you approve the work. Most repairs are finished on the first visit, and every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Marietta is one of the busiest markets we serve anywhere in Georgia. Cobb County housing runs the full range — mid-century ranch homes off Powder Springs Street, 1980s subdivisions along Sandy Plains and Johnson Ferry, and newer construction west toward Kennesaw Mountain — and the appliance mix follows the housing. Older neighborhoods send us a steady flow of second refrigerators in garages and laundry pairs well past ten years old. Newer homes send us control boards, inverter compressors and dishwashers with electronics that fail long before the mechanical parts wear out.

That difference matters when you are choosing who to call. A technician who works Marietta every week already knows that a garage refrigerator behaving badly in August is usually a heat and airflow problem rather than a dead compressor, and that a builder-grade dishwasher in a 2005 subdivision fails at the drain pump long before it fails anywhere else. Our route through Cobb County is dense enough that we can usually get a truck to a Marietta address the same day or the next morning, and dense enough that the common parts for the brands we see here ride on the truck instead of being ordered.

What Actually Breaks in Marietta

These are our own service records for Marietta, not national averages. The middle column is how many Marietta calls we logged for that appliance; the median is the middle price of a completed repair in this city, with parts, labor and the service call included. Each appliance links through to its own Marietta page.

Washers — the number one call in Marietta

Washers are 322 of our Marietta calls, more than any other appliance, and the dominant complaint is a machine that shakes hard enough through the spin cycle to walk across the laundry floor. On a real Marietta job in 30066 the diagnosis came back as failed suspension — the rods that hold the tub lose their damping, the tub swings, and the machine either bangs or shuts the cycle down as an unbalanced-load fault. A front-loader with worn shocks does the same thing. Neither one is a reason to replace the machine; the median washer repair here is $346.

The other two washer patterns we see constantly in Marietta are a machine that will not drain, which is usually the drain pump or an obstruction ahead of it, and a machine that fills but never starts the cycle, which is usually the lid switch or door lock rather than the motor. If yours is stuck mid-cycle right now, our national write-up on a washing machine that is out of balance explains what the noise is telling you, and the Atlanta guide to a washer that will not drain covers the drainage side. Full local detail is on our washer repair in Marietta GA page.

Refrigerators — the most expensive thing to get wrong

Refrigerators are 253 Marietta calls and the highest median in the city at $417. The reason the median sits above the other appliances is that a refrigerator has two very different classes of failure and one of them is expensive. Everything that is not the sealed system lands in a narrow band: an evaporator or condenser fan motor runs about $422 across our full job history, a defrost heater or timer about $395, a temperature sensor or thermostat about $386, a water inlet valve about $401, a door gasket about $484, a control board about $564. A compressor is the outlier at a median of $956, with the middle half of those jobs falling between $670 and $1,330.

That gives you a simple decision rule that we use with Marietta homeowners on the phone: is this the compressor, or is it everything else? If it is everything else, repair is almost always the right call on a unit under about twelve years old. If it is the compressor on an ordinary side-by-side, the math gets close, and roughly one in five customers we quote for a compressor chooses a new refrigerator instead. We will tell you which side of that line you are on before you commit to anything.

Dishwashers — 156 calls and a predictable failure order

Dishwashers are the third-biggest category in Marietta, which is higher than they rank in most of our markets, and they fail in a fairly predictable order. Drain pump first, then control board, then heating element, then the door gasket and latch. Across our full job history a dishwasher drain pump job runs about $300 to $405, a control board about $320 to $445, a heating element about $295 to $475, a gasket about $275 to $495 and a latch about $250 to $335. The Marietta median for a dishwasher repair is $337.

Two things worth knowing before you call. Water standing in the bottom of the tub is a drain problem and almost never a reason to replace the machine. Water on the kitchen floor is a different story and needs to be looked at quickly, because a leak that runs under a dishwasher long enough will damage the cabinet and the subfloor around it — our write-up on a dishwasher leaking from the bottom covers what leaks where, and the local version lives on our dishwasher repair in Marietta GA page.

Ovens, ranges and cooktops

Ninety-four Marietta calls, median $403 — the second most expensive category here, largely because wall ovens and double ovens are common in Cobb County kitchens and they take longer to pull and service than a freestanding range. On a real Marietta job in 30008 the finding was a failed board plus a burned-out lower element on the same appliance; in 30062 it was an additional heating element with installation. Across all our markets an oven bake or broil element runs a median of $325, a gas igniter $352, a switch, knob or touchpad $349, a thermostat $420 and a control board $475.

If your oven still heats but bakes unevenly or runs cold, that is worth a diagnostic before you buy anything — it is frequently a sensor or an element that is failing rather than failed. If it is a gas range, do not troubleshoot a gas smell yourself: shut the supply off and call. Our gas range repair guide covers the safety side properly, and the Marietta numbers are on our oven repair in Marietta GA page.

Dryers, freezers and ice makers

Dryers are 82 Marietta calls at a median of $367, and the great majority are heat problems: a heating element, a thermal fuse or a thermostat, often triggered by a vent run that has silted up with lint. A dryer that runs a full cycle and leaves clothes damp is telling you it cannot get rid of moist air. Freezers and ice makers are smaller volumes here — 30 and 18 calls — but ice makers are the most expensive small job we do anywhere, at a median of $427, because the assembly usually comes as a unit. Real Marietta work in this category included a defrost sensor replacement with an evaporator defrost in 30068. More on the heat side in dryer not heating and on our dryer repair in Marietta GA page; on ice, see ice maker not making ice and ice maker repair in Marietta GA.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause

• Washer walks across the floor during spin — worn suspension rods on a top-loader or failed shock absorbers on a front-loader. Repairable, and cheaper than the noise makes it sound.
• Washer fills but never starts — lid switch or door lock assembly far more often than the motor.
• Water standing in the washer or dishwasher — drain pump or a blockage ahead of it. Not a replacement decision.
• Fridge warm, freezer still cold — evaporator fan or a defrost fault blocking cold air transfer, not a dead compressor.
• Whole refrigerator warm and unusually quiet — this is the one that points at the compressor or the start relay. Get it diagnosed the same day; food loss adds up fast.
• Ice maker stopped, water dispenser fine — the ice maker module or its water inlet valve, not the refrigerator itself.
• Dryer runs a full cycle and clothes are still damp — heating element, thermal fuse or a restricted vent run.
• Oven takes forever to preheat or bakes unevenly — a bake element failing rather than failed, or a temperature sensor drifting out of range.
• Gas burner clicks but will not light — igniter or spark module. If you smell gas, shut the supply off and call before doing anything else.
• Dishwasher runs and dishes come out dirty — spray arm blockage, a weak circulation pump or a heating element that is not bringing the water up to temperature.

Marietta ZIP Codes We Work In

Every one of these numbers is our own completed job count for that ZIP, with the median price of a paid repair there. It is the honest answer to whether we actually cover your street.

One local note that confuses a lot of homeowners: 30062, 30066 and 30068 carry a Marietta mailing address but they are East Cobb, which is unincorporated Cobb County rather than the City of Marietta. If your address is in that corridor, our East Cobb pages are written for exactly your area and are the better read — refrigerator repair in East Cobb, washer repair in East Cobb, dryer repair in East Cobb, oven repair in East Cobb, cooktop repair in East Cobb and ice maker repair in East Cobb. Same trucks, same technicians, same pricing — the East Cobb pages simply go deeper on the high-end and built-in appliances that are common there, including Sub-Zero, Wolf, Thermador and Viking.
