Appliance Repair in Monroe, GA
Six of our 127 Monroe repairs have passed $600. That is 4.7 percent — the fourth lowest of the 64 Georgia towns where we hold fifty or more part-fitted repairs. Expensive appliance work is genuinely rare here, and it shows in the spread: half of all local repairs land between $285 and $440, and nine in ten finish under $531.
The file is deep enough to price three machines locally rather than quoting company averages: refrigerator $404, washer $369, dryer $311. That dryer figure is the cheapest number on this page and $37 below what we charge for dryers company-wide.
Appliance Repair in Monroe, GA
Refrigerators, washers, dryers, dishwashers, ovens and ice makers across both Monroe postal codes — the historic square and the streets around it, the newer subdivisions off Highway 78, and the county addresses out toward Between and Good Hope.
A Town Where the Bill Rarely Surprises Anyone
Our record opened on 28 January 2023 and now holds 261 invoices from 222 Monroe households, 55 of them in the last twelve months. Of 188 paid visits, 127 ended with a component fitted, and there is no commercial account anywhere in the file — every figure here comes from a home.
The work is spread evenly over time as well: 73 invoices in 2023, 69 in 2024, 91 in 2025 and 28 through September 2026. Nothing in the pricing below rests on a single busy season.
What Appliance Repair Costs in Monroe
Three machines carry Monroe prices, each built on more than a dozen local repairs. Dishwashers, ovens and ice makers stay on the company book until they reach the ten local repairs we require. Every figure covers the part, the labor and the call-out together.
| Appliance | Monroe jobs | With a part | Figure this page uses | Middle half |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | 56 | 27 | $404 local | $372 to $520 |
| Washer | 28 | 14 | $369 local | $300 to $446 |
| Dryer | 17 | 13 | $311 local | $295 to $337 |
| Dishwasher | 19 | 6 | $330 company | $274 to $400 |
| Oven and range | 10 | 5 | $375 company | $300 to $482 |
| Freezer and ice maker | 4 | 1 | $375 freezer, $425 ice | freezer $295 to $492 |
One consequence of a thin expensive tail is that the median and the typical quote sit close together. Half of all Monroe repairs fall in a $155 band, and the ninetieth percentile is only $182 above the median — on pages for towns with heavier premium equipment that gap can run to $600 or more. It is the main reason we are comfortable publishing three separate local prices here rather than hedging behind company figures.
Those rows account for 134 of the 261 invoices; the rest were logged without an appliance tag. The dryer row is worth a second look — 13 of the 17 dryer calls ended with a part fitted, the highest conversion of any machine here, and the band around it is the tightest on the page at $295 to $337.
The dryer at $311, and why it stays there 13 LOCAL REPAIRS
A $42 middle band is remarkably narrow for any appliance, and it exists because dryer faults are a short list of cheap parts: the heating element at a $346 company median across 102 repairs, the thermostat at $350, the thermal fuse at $327, the drive belt at $324. Monroe work sits at or below each of those, and the dearest dryer repair in three years is $517.
The thing that turns a cheap dryer repair into an expensive one is the vent, not the machine. A blocked duct kills the element you just paid for, so the run gets checked end to end before anything is quoted. The mechanism is explained in a dryer that will not heat.
A GE town more than a Samsung one 24 OF 86 BRANDED JOBS
GE leads the Monroe brand mix at 24 of the 86 jobs that record a make — 27.9 percent, the third-highest GE share of any Georgia city in our book, behind Jasper and Mableton. Whirlpool follows at 20 and Samsung at 17, which is an unusual order: in most of the metro Samsung sits at or near the top.
Premium built-in equipment is a single job in 86, a Viking. That absence is part of why the expensive tail is so thin: without premium cabinets and sealed systems on high-end platforms, the ceiling stays low even when a repair goes wrong.
The refrigerator is where the exceptions live 3 OF 3 ABOVE $1,000
Twenty-seven refrigerator repairs at a $404 median, with a middle half of $372 to $520 — a tighter band than most towns show on this machine. But all three Monroe invoices above $1,000 are refrigerators, topping out at $1,269 on a Whirlpool.
Company-wide there are really two kinds of refrigerator repair. The routine kind runs from a $370 temperature sensor through a defrost heater at $385 and a fill valve at $408 to an evaporator fan at $426. The other kind is the board at $510 or the sealed circuit from $580 upward, and that is the kind that produces four-figure invoices. Check the settings first with refrigerator temperature, and if both compartments are warming together, read signs of a bad compressor before you book.
A county seat from 1818, and the postal area around it 29,785 IN 30655
Monroe was founded in 1818 as the seat of the newly created Walton County and had 14,928 residents at the 2020 census. Its historic square and the streets of nineteenth-century houses around it are the reason people know the town; the work we do sits in both those houses and the subdivisions that surround them.
Postal code 30655 holds 29,785 people in 10,330 households across 10,959 housing units, 8,233 of them detached houses and 712 manufactured homes, with a median income of $69,148, a median home value of $326,800 and a median build year of 1994. Our jobs split 157 in 30655 and 104 in 30656, and both are charged the same.
Do We Cover Your Address?
Both 30655 and 30656: the square and the historic district, the neighbourhoods along Highway 78 and Highway 11, the subdivisions toward Monroe Golf and Country Club, and the county addresses out past the city limits where the postal code still runs.
Site-built and manufactured homes are serviced at the same rate. Monroe sits on our eastern run through Walton County, so same-day and next-day appointments are ordinary, no distance charge applies, and the $99 diagnostic comes off the invoice once you approve the work.
Around Monroe
Walton County and the top of Gwinnett run as one route. Loganville is west along Highway 78, Social Circle south-east, Good Hope just east on Route 83, and Winder north in Barrow County.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Dryer running cold — element $346 or thermostat $350 company-wide, and locally this repair has never exceeded $517. The vent is checked first regardless.
- Dryer taking two cycles to finish a load — restricted airflow far more often than a failed part; the duct run and the lint path get inspected before a quote.
- Washer stopping mid-cycle — the door lock at $354, then the main board at $436. Quote us the fault code and check it against washer error codes.
- Washer leaving water behind — the drain pump at $370 over 113 repairs, after the filter and standpipe are ruled out.
- Fridge warm on top, freezer cold — the evaporator fan at $426 or a defrost fault at $385, the ordinary end of local refrigerator work.
- Both compartments warming together — the control board at $510 or the sealed system at $580 and up. All three local invoices above $1,000 came from here.
- Ice maker stopped — filter, then the water inlet valve at $408, then the module at $470.
- Dishwasher not draining — the drain pump at $335, checked against the disposal connection first.
- Oven reading wrong — a thermometer on the middle rack settles it; then the sensor at $345, the bake element at $313, or the igniter at $350 on gas.
Repair or Replace, on the Monroe Numbers
With a $349 median across all local repairs, a $311 dryer figure and expensive outcomes running at under five percent, repair is the clear answer on nearly everything in this town. A new dryer of similar capacity delivered and connected starts around $700, which is more than twice what the typical repair costs here.
The refrigerator remains the one machine where the question is real, since all three of our four-figure local invoices came from that direction. On a sealed-system failure past twelve years we set out both prices rather than recommending one. The reasoning is in the repair or replace guide, and expected service life by machine in how long refrigerators last.

Appliance Repair in Monroe — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Monroe, GA?
Three machines have local prices: refrigerator $404 across 27 repairs, washer $369 across 14 and dryer $311 across 13, each covering the part, the labor and the call-out. Across all 127 local repairs the median is $349, with the middle half between $285 and $440 and nine in ten under $531.
Dishwashers, ovens and ice makers are quoted from the company book at $330, $375 and $425, because none of them has reached ten local repairs yet.
How likely is an expensive repair here?
Unlikely. Six of 127 local repairs have passed $600 and three have passed $1,000 — 4.7 percent at the first threshold, the fourth lowest of the 64 Georgia towns where we hold fifty or more repairs. All three of the four-figure jobs were refrigerators.
Why is your dryer price lower than the company figure?
Thirteen local dryer repairs put the median at $311 against $348 company-wide, with a middle band of just $295 to $337. Dryer faults are a short list of inexpensive parts, and in Monroe they have consistently landed at the cheap end of it. The dearest local dryer repair in three years is $517.
Which appliance do you repair most in Monroe?
Refrigerators at 56 calls and 27 repairs, then washers at 28 calls, dishwashers at 19 and dryers at 17. The dryer converts best of all: 13 of its 17 calls ended with a component fitted.
Which brands do you see here?
GE leads at 24 of the 86 jobs that record a make, then Whirlpool at 20 and Samsung at 17 — an unusual order, since Samsung tops most of our metro cities. Premium built-in equipment amounts to a single Viking in three years.
Do you cover both 30655 and 30656?
Yes, at one rate: 157 of our jobs sit in 30655 and 104 in 30656. The postal area reaches well beyond the city limits into Walton County, and we work all of it, site-built homes and manufactured homes alike.
How quickly can you get to Walton County?
A van is normally already working the Loganville, Social Circle and Good Hope loop, which puts Monroe within reach the same day more often than not, and next-day almost always. Distance is never billed out here. Membership buys a place at the front of the queue, typically 24 to 48 hours.
What does the $99 diagnostic include?
A technician at the address, the fault identified by testing rather than guesswork, and a firm price before any work starts. Approve it and the $99 is deducted from the invoice. Stacked laundry pairs and double wall ovens are $150 because the units must be separated first, and every repair carries 90 days on parts and labor.
