Appliance Repair in the UNF Area, Jacksonville FL 32224
Appliance repair in the University of North Florida area runs a median of $279 per completed job, or $393 once a part is actually replaced. That comes from 97 jobs inside ZIP 32224, across 84 households, of which 72 finished as paid work and 42 involved replacing a real component.
Two things about this book are unusual and both are worth knowing before any price. First, this is a fading route and we would rather tell you than pretend otherwise — 51 jobs in 2024, 28 in 2025, and 12 through the first eight months of 2026, with only 19 of the 97 falling inside the last twelve months.
Second, the appliance that actually dominates our work here is the dryer, and you cannot see that from the tags alone: eight tickets are labelled dryer, but reading the written descriptions on the untagged ones turns up eight more dryer jobs that were never tagged as such.

What Appliance Repair Actually Costs in 32224
Medians below are parts, labor and the service call together, from our own completed invoices inside this ZIP. The right-hand column carries the local sample size, and on a 97-job book with a high untagged share that column is what decides how much weight a figure can hold. Only one row here stands on a sample we would price from directly.
| Appliance | Median, all paid jobs | Median with a part replaced | Our 32224 jobs with a part (n) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dryer | $352 | $355 · plus eight more in untagged tickets | 7 |
| Refrigerator | $352 | $485 on four jobs · use $394 | 4 |
| Washer | $170 | $420 on four jobs · use $370 | 4 |
| Dishwasher | $339 | two jobs · use $338 | 2 |
| Oven, range and cooktop | $78 | one job · use $398 Florida | 1 |
| Freezer and ice maker | $515 | one job at $931 · use $385 to $415 | 1 |
| All 32224 jobs with a part replaced | $279 | $393 · middle half $330 to $502 | 42 |
The Dryer Is the Real Story Here, and the Tags Hide It
Eight tickets in 32224 carry a dryer tag. Read the written descriptions on the untagged ones and eight more dryer jobs appear, none of them tagged. Listed together they are the largest single body of work in this ZIP by a clear margin.
| Ticket | What the technician wrote |
|---|---|
| $635.00 | Replacing the control board and one thermostat |
| $486.00 | Replacement of the heating element, of two thermostats, cleaning the dryer, cleaning the ventilation |
| $420.00 | Dryer idler pulley replacement |
| $390.50 | Replacing the belt and two rollers |
| $365.00 | Replacement of heating element and one thermostat |
| $338.00 | Dryer cabinet cleaning. Thermistor and cycle thermostat replacement |
| $275.00 | Replacing the belt and roller, cleaning the inside of the dryer |
| $220.00 | Dryer maintenance — cabinet cleaning, renew lubricant on rollers. No warranty |
Notice how many of those include a clean alongside the parts. That is not padding on the bill. A dryer vent or cabinet packed with lint makes the machine run longer and hotter to shift the same load, and heat is what takes out an element and its cut-out thermostats — which is why three of these tickets replaced thermostats in ones and twos alongside the element.
The last line is the one worth dwelling on: a $220 maintenance visit, sold explicitly with no warranty, because cleaning a cabinet and re-lubricating rollers is preventive work rather than a repair we can guarantee. Detail on the dryer page. Wider cost context: cost by component across 29,315 repairs.
Why Appliances in 32224 Fail the Way They Do
This ZIP covers 20.86 square miles east of the Southside corridor, running from the Kernan Boulevard spine out toward the Intracoastal.
The University of North Florida campus address, 1 UNF Drive, sits inside it, and so do Deerwood, Glen Kernan and a string of gated communities — the published median home value here is $458,100 against a median household income of $88,259, which is a materially wealthier profile than the urban core across the river.
On the water, JEA draws from the Floridan aquifer about a thousand feet down, aerates it to strip the sulphur odour groundwater carries, then chlorinates it, with no softening step. JEA publishes hardness by ZIP and 32224 comes back at 297 parts per million or 17 grains per gallon, classified Very Hard.
A fading route, stated plainly 51 JOBS IN 2024, 12 SO FAR IN 2026
Our volume in 32224 ran 6 jobs in late 2023, 51 in 2024, 28 in 2025 and 12 through August 2026. Only 19 of the 97 fall inside the last twelve months — the lowest recency of any district we cover, and the exact opposite of Northwest Jacksonville, where 79 of 124 jobs are from the last year.
We publish that because it changes how you should read the prices: a fair share of the figures on these pages were set by work done in 2024, and parts have not got cheaper since. What has not changed is coverage — we work this ZIP at the same price with no travel surcharge, and the diagnostic is the same $99.
A premium tail unusual for a single ZIP THERMADOR, CAFE, KITCHENAID, SPEED QUEEN
Thirty-five of our local tickets carry a brand, and four of them are premium or specialist lines: two Thermador units including a refrigerator, a Cafe 36-inch gas cooktop, a KitchenAid ice maker, and a Speed Queen gas dryer built by Alliance Laundry Systems.
Set against a median home value of $458,100 that is not surprising, but it changes how a visit is planned: premium and specialist units more often need a component ordered and a second visit rather than a fix from the van.
Tell us the make and model at booking and we can frequently carry the likely part. A brand count records how often we are called out, not reliability.
The largest ice maker invoice anywhere in our Jacksonville book $931
A single 32224 ticket tagged ice maker came to $931 — more than double our company ice maker median of $415 and the biggest of its kind we hold anywhere. The paperwork records it only as diagnose a problem, so we cannot tell you what was in it, and we are therefore not letting it set a local price.
A second local ice job, on a KitchenAid, was settled for the $99 diagnostic, and an untagged ticket reads ice maker and temperature sensor replacement at $517. Three ice-related jobs, one of them an outlier of the first order. The ice maker page shows all three and uses company figures.
Three repairs here were sold explicitly with no warranty AND WE PUT IT IN WRITING
Three separate 32224 invoices carry the words no warranty: dryer maintenance at $220 for a cabinet clean and roller lubrication, a drain line defrosting and cleaning at $180, and a further dryer maintenance job. That phrasing is deliberate rather than defensive.
Cleaning, defrosting and lubricating are preventive measures that do not replace a failed component, so the underlying part is the same age it was before we arrived — and we would rather write that on the paperwork than imply a guarantee we cannot stand behind.
If anyone offers you a clean-and-lubricate with a warranty attached, it is worth asking exactly what is covered.
84 households in 32224 have used us at least once. Same price across the whole ZIP, no travel surcharge. Book online or call (954) 902-6229.
Do We Cover Your Address? ZIP 32224
A word on the name at the top of this page, because we would rather be precise than convenient. The Postal Service lists the primary city for 32224 as Jacksonville, with Jacksonville as the only acceptable alternate and Jax listed as a name to avoid.
There is no postal city called UNF, Deerwood, Kernan or Glen Kernan — those are a university, a road and two subdivisions.
We have named the page after the university because its campus address, 1 UNF Drive, is inside this ZIP and it is the landmark people navigate by, and we are telling you outright that it is not a postal name. All 97 of our work orders here are addressed Jacksonville.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Dryer runs but clothes come out damp — heating element, thermal fuse, or a vent and cabinet packed with lint. Our largest body of work in this ZIP, and several local tickets pair the parts with a clean for a reason. See dryer not heating.
- Fridge warm, freezer still cold — evaporator fan, defrost heater or defrost control, not the compressor. One local ticket replaced a fan motor and cleaned the evaporator at $431.75. See refrigerator not cooling.
- Washer will not drain, or bangs on spin — drain pump or suspension. One local job replaced four suspensions at $395, another the drain pump at $445. See washing machine out of balance.
- One burner will not light on a gas cooktop — the burner orifice or the electrode for that specific burner. A local Cafe 36-inch cooktop came in with exactly this on the centre burner inner ring.
- Dishwasher dead at the panel, or leaving dishes dirty — control board or the wash arms. One local ticket cleaned and sealed a control board rather than replacing it, and another replaced both the bottom and middle wash arms.
- No ice, or hollow cubes — filter, fill tube, inlet valve or the module. Reseat and flush the filter first; at 17 grains per gallon that alone fixes a lot of them. See ice maker not making ice.
Which Brands We See in 32224
Thirty-five of our local tickets carry a brand: Samsung 11, GE 7, Whirlpool 6, Maytag 4, LG 2, Thermador 2, KitchenAid 1, Speed Queen 1 and Amana 1.
Samsung leading at nearly a third is the strongest Samsung concentration in this half of the city — company-wide Samsung is 21.8 percent of refrigerator calls and 25.8 percent of dryer calls, and both of our large local refrigerator invoices at $595 apiece were Samsung units.
The tail is where this ZIP separates itself: two Thermador units, a Cafe 36-inch gas cooktop, a KitchenAid ice maker and a Speed Queen gas dryer converted to LP. That last one is worth flagging on its own — a propane conversion changes the gas train and the BTU rating, and it is not something to guess at.
Practically, common Samsung, GE, Whirlpool and Maytag parts ride on the van, while Thermador and Cafe components usually need ordering. See most reliable appliance brands and appliance repair cost by brand.
Repair or Replace, in 32224 Numbers
A repair with a part replaced runs $393 here, against roughly $1,100 to $1,600 for a mid-market replacement refrigerator installed, $700 to $1,200 for a washer and $650 to $1,100 for a dryer. On anything under about eight years old the repair wins comfortably. In this ZIP two factors push it further that way than the sticker price suggests.
With a median home value of $458,100, a good share of the kitchens here are fitted rather than freestanding, and replacing a built-in unit drags cabinetry along behind it. And premium and specialist equipment — the Thermador refrigerator, the Cafe cooktop, the Speed Queen dryer — costs several times a mainstream machine to replace, so repair stays ahead far longer.
The one place the argument genuinely turns is the sealed system on a refrigerator, at a company compressor median of $956, and no compressor has ever been fitted in this ZIP. Framework: repair or replace guide, with service life in how long dryers last and how long refrigerators last.
Is There a Busy Season in 32224?
No, and the shape of this book makes that especially clear. Our volume ran 6 jobs in late 2023, 51 in 2024, 28 in 2025 and 12 through August 2026. Only 2024 is a complete year with work spread through it.
2025 has months holding a single job, and 2026 has an empty February, April and June. A peak calculated across that pool would describe our own shrinking route rather than when appliances fail in this neighbourhood — the 2024 shape would dominate simply because it holds half the data.
Company-wide, across 51,634 visits, July is our heaviest month at 10.3 percent of the year and October the lightest at 6.9 percent, and that figure is honest because it rests on the whole book. For 32224 specifically we would need two clean consecutive years, and on current volume that will take a while.
The only scheduling guidance we stand behind meanwhile is that refrigerator and freezer calls jump the queue, because food loss is on a clock.

Appliance Repair in the UNF Area — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in 32224, Jacksonville?
The median completed job in ZIP 32224 is $279, and $393 once a part is actually replaced — parts, labor and the service call together, from 72 paid jobs across 84 households. The middle half of component jobs runs $330 to $502. Only the dryer has enough local component work to quote from directly, at $355 across seven tagged jobs plus eight more found in untagged tickets.
Refrigerators, washers, dishwashers, ovens and ice makers each rest on four local component jobs or fewer, so for those we point you at the company medians of $394, $370, $338, $398 Florida and $415.
Why do you say the dryer is your biggest appliance here?
Because the tags undercount it badly. Eight tickets in 32224 carry a dryer tag, but reading the written descriptions on the untagged ones turns up eight more dryer jobs — a control board and thermostat at $635, a heating element with two thermostats and a vent clean at $486, an idler pulley at $420, a belt and two rollers at $390.50, a heating element and thermostat at $365, a cabinet clean with a thermistor and cycle thermostat at $338, a belt and roller with an internal clean at $275, and a maintenance visit at $220.
Together that is the largest single body of work in this ZIP. Overall, 54 of our 97 tickets here never record which appliance was involved.
You say this route is fading. Do you still cover 32224?
Yes, at exactly the same price as everywhere else, with no travel surcharge and the same $99 diagnostic applied to the repair.
We publish the trend because it is honest and because it affects how you should read the figures: our volume ran 51 jobs in 2024, 28 in 2025 and 12 through August 2026, with only 19 of the 97 inside the last twelve months — the lowest recency of any district we cover.
That means a fair share of the numbers on these pages were set by work done in 2024, and parts have not got cheaper since. The technicians, parts, warranty and fees are unchanged.
Why did some of your invoices here say no warranty?
Because those jobs were preventive maintenance rather than a repair. Three separate 32224 invoices carry the phrase: a dryer maintenance visit at $220 for a cabinet clean and roller lubrication, a drain line defrosting and cleaning at $180, and a further dryer maintenance job. Cleaning, defrosting and lubricating do not replace a failed component, so the underlying part is the same age it was before we arrived.
We would rather write that on the paperwork than imply a guarantee we cannot stand behind. Actual repairs with a part fitted carry our standard 90-day parts and labor warranty.
What was the $931 ice maker invoice?
A single 32224 ticket tagged ice maker, logged only as diagnose a problem with no component named. At $931 it is more than double our company ice maker median of $415 and the largest invoice of its kind anywhere in our Jacksonville book.
Because the paperwork does not say what was in it, we are not letting it set a local price — it is excluded from the figures we quote and shown to you instead.
A second local ice job, on a KitchenAid, was settled for the $99 diagnostic, and an untagged ticket reads ice maker and temperature sensor replacement at $517.
Is UNF an official place name for this ZIP?
No, and we would rather say so than let you assume. The Postal Service lists the primary city for 32224 as Jacksonville, with Jacksonville as the only acceptable alternate and Jax as a name to avoid. There is no postal city called UNF, Deerwood, Kernan or Glen Kernan — those are a university, a road and two subdivisions.
We named the page after the university because its campus address, 1 UNF Drive, sits inside this ZIP and it is the landmark people navigate by. All 97 of our work orders here are addressed simply Jacksonville.
Do you work on Thermador, Cafe and Speed Queen appliances here?
Yes, and this ZIP gives us more of that work than most. Four of our 35 branded local tickets are premium or specialist lines: two Thermador units including a refrigerator, a Cafe 36-inch gas cooktop, a KitchenAid ice maker and a Speed Queen gas dryer built by Alliance Laundry Systems and converted to LP.
That last one matters practically — a propane conversion changes the gas train and the BTU rating, so it is not something to guess at. The general difference with premium equipment is parts rather than difficulty: components more often need ordering and a second visit, so tell us the make and model at booking.
What does the $99 diagnostic buy me?
You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else. In 32224 that happened on 27 of 72 paid visits, 37.5 percent, matching our company-wide figure almost exactly. It is uneven by appliance: seven of eight paid dryer visits fitted a part and five of six refrigerator visits did.
The diagnostic is $150 on a stacked washer-dryer or a double wall oven, because those have to be separated before anything can be seen.
