Appliance Repair in Davie FL

Appliance repair in Davie runs a median of $381 once a part is replaced, with the middle half of jobs between $320 and $475. We have 329 jobs on record across 290 separate households in this town, and the first thing the data says about Davie is that it is not one market.

At 34.9 square miles it is the largest municipality we cover in Broward, it spans nine postal areas, and the median with a part ranges from $365 in one part of town to $425 in another.

The second thing it says is stranger and more useful: Davie holds both the cheapest dishwasher repairs in Broward County and one of the two most expensive oven repairs, frequently in the same kitchen.

This page explains where those numbers come from and what they mean before you pick up the phone.

What Appliance Repair Costs in Davie, by Appliance

Every figure below is a median across our completed jobs in this town where a part was actually replaced, with the part, the labour and the service call added together rather than a parts price with the real cost hidden behind it. Where the local count is small, the wider base underneath it is named so you can see exactly what the number rests on.

Across the whole town, 246 of our 329 jobs were completed and 152 of those involved a part going in, which is 62 percent. The median across every completed visit, including those where the work turned out to be an adjustment rather than a replacement, is $294. The metro picture is on how much appliance repair costs in Miami.

Why the Cheapest and the Priciest Repairs Share a Kitchen

The dishwasher and oven figures in the table above look contradictory until you understand what each one is measuring, and the explanation is the single most useful thing on this page.

The dishwasher number is low because dishwashers in this town are ordinary. A dishwasher has no sealed refrigeration system, no high-current heating circuit worth speaking of and, in almost every house here, no premium equivalent.

Our local dishwasher work sits on GE, Whirlpool, Frigidaire, Amana and Samsung machines, and the parts that fail on them — drain pumps, door latches, gaskets, inlet valves — are stocked, shared across many models and quick to fit.

Nothing about Davie makes them expensive, and at $295 they are the cheapest dishwasher repairs in Broward County.

The oven number is high because cooking equipment in this town is not ordinary. Our local cooking file includes a Thermador microwave and oven combination, a JennAir control panel and board replacement, and a GE built-in cooktop and oven job. Those are not freestanding ranges you roll out from a wall.

They are built into cabinetry, frequently stacked in a tower, and their parts are ordered to the model rather than carried on the van. The same fault that takes forty minutes on a freestanding range takes a great deal longer on a built-in, and that is what pushes the local oven median to $458 with an upper quartile reaching $805.

The pattern repeats across the town. Refrigerators run $401 because a meaningful share of them are built-in Dacor, Thermador, KitchenAid and Monogram machines rather than freestanding units. Ice makers and freezers run $432 on a small local count where every single machine in the file is a premium brand.

Washers run $413. Only the dishwasher escapes the pattern, precisely because nobody puts a luxury dishwasher in a house that has a volume one.

What follows from this practically: when you call, tell us whether the appliance is built in or freestanding, and give us the brand. Those two facts move the estimate more than anything else you can say, and in a town with this much spread they are the difference between a useful number and a meaningless average.

What Makes Appliance Repair in Davie Its Own Market

The Six Appliance Pages for This Town

Each of these is built on the jobs we have actually run in Davie rather than on a template with the town name dropped in, and each answers a different question.

Where the Work Is, Across a Very Large Town

Because Davie is so much bigger than its neighbours, the postal areas inside it behave more like separate small towns than like districts. The counts below are our jobs by postal zone, and they are given once here in figures because the pattern is genuinely informative.

Our two busiest zones are 33325 with 85 jobs at a $376 median with a part, and 33328 with 75 jobs at $400. Together they are just under half of everything we have done in this town.

Then 33314 with 42 jobs at $375, and 33324 with 38 at $386 — note that 33324 and 33317 are shared with Plantation next door, which is why our Plantation work and our Davie work overlap on the map without either count being inflated: each job belongs to the address it was booked at.

The two zones at the ends of the range are 33330 with 37 jobs at $425, the highest median in town, and 33331 with 37 jobs at $365, the lowest. A handful of jobs sit in 33312, 33326 and 33317.

That $60 spread between the highest and lowest zone is not about distance or difficulty. It tracks the appliances: the zone at $425 is where the built-in and premium equipment concentrates, and the zone at $365 is where the housing runs to more standard fittings. Same town, same technicians, same pricing method, different machines.

A Town Built Around Something Unusual

Davie was incorporated on 16 November 1925 under the name Zona, and took its present name from Robert Parsell Davie, an out-of-state businessman who bought land here to develop farms and establish the town. It was formally re-incorporated on 19 September 1963.

Unlike almost everywhere else in Broward, it did not simply become a grid of subdivisions: horseback riding remains common and many of its historic buildings are ranches and other Western establishments, a character the town has deliberately kept while the population grew from 47,217 in 1990 to 105,691 in 2020.

Two consequences follow for appliances, and both are visible in our file. The first is that this is a town of large lots and outbuildings rather than dense townhouse rows, which means a much higher rate of second refrigerators and standalone freezers in garages, utility rooms and barns.

Those machines live in ambient temperatures far outside what most freezers are designed for, they are rarely cleaned, and they fail in summer. The second is the institutional weight: Nova Southeastern University, Florida Atlantic University’s Davie campus, the University of Florida’s Davie campus, Broward College and McFatter Technical College all sit inside this town.

That means a large rented population alongside long-held family homes, and rented appliances tend to be volume brands maintained on a landlord’s schedule, which is part of why the dishwasher figure sits where it does.

The result is a town where the same route in a single day can take in a Dacor built-in refrigerator, a garage chest freezer that has never had its coil touched, and a rental dishwasher with a blocked drain. That is why our estimates here are given per machine and not per town.

The Question That Decides a Refrigerator, and It Is Not the Brand

More money is lost on this one distinction than on anything else in a South Florida kitchen, so it is worth stating plainly on the town page rather than burying it.

Every refrigerator, freezer and ice maker contains a sealed system: a compressor, a condenser coil, a capillary tube or expansion device, an evaporator coil, a filter drier, and a charge of refrigerant circulating through all of it in a closed loop that was welded shut at the factory.

Opening that loop means recovering the refrigerant, brazing, replacing the drier, pulling a vacuum and recharging by weight. It is a different class of work from anything else in the house, and it is the only repair where the number changes category rather than degree.

Everything outside the sealed system — fans, thermostats, sensors, defrost heaters and timers, door gaskets, water valves, control boards, ice maker modules — is ordinary appliance work in the $300 to $600 band, whatever badge is on the door.

Our Davie file is full of exactly those: a water valve with a filter housing, a door gasket with a filter and a coil deep clean, a user interface and main board, a control board on its own.

Then there are the two outliers, and both are sealed-system jobs: a freezer compressor with a door gasket and a refrigerant refill, and a compressor with a capillary tube and a filter drier. Those are the largest invoices in the entire town file by a wide margin, and nothing else comes close.

The practical version, and the thing to remember when anybody quotes you: the honest first question on a warm refrigerator is not the brand or the age, it is whether the fault sits inside the sealed loop or outside it. The symptoms overlap almost completely — a warm cabinet can be a $400 fan or a compressor — so the answer comes from measurement, not from looking.

The one thing you can do yourself is listen: a compartment that is warm while the machine compartment hums and then clicks off after a few seconds is very often a start relay, a small part at the bottom of the price list, rather than the compressor it sounds exactly like.

There is a second reason this matters more in Davie than in a denser town. A sealed-system repair on a freestanding volume refrigerator is a genuine decision point, and we will say so plainly rather than quietly quoting it.

On a built-in Dacor, Thermador, Monogram or KitchenAid — the machines this town actually holds — the same repair is obviously worth doing, because the cabinet cutout was sized around a unit that in many cases is no longer manufactured, so replacing it is joinery before it is an appliance purchase.

Identical fault, identical part, opposite recommendation, and the only thing that separates them is what the machine is bolted into. That is the sort of answer you should expect from anyone standing in your kitchen, and it is why we quote after measuring rather than over the phone.

Four Checks the Technician Runs First

• Kill the power for five full minutes. Not a switch, not a door, not a cancel button — the plug or the breaker, for five genuine minutes. Any appliance holding a bad control state after a grid disturbance presents symptoms indistinguishable from a failed board, and a real cold start clears them for nothing.
• Clean the condenser coil on anything that makes cold. Behind the lower front grille or on the back panel. On a built-in it is reached from the front and is almost never cleaned, and on a garage freezer it collects dust and cobwebs at a rate no kitchen machine matches. A coil that cannot shed heat makes the compressor run continuously for years until it does not.
• Photograph the model plate. Inside a door frame, behind a lower grille, or on the edge of a door. On built-in and premium equipment this single step decides whether the part arrives with the technician or has to be ordered afterwards.
• Check the appliance is level and has clearance. Four inches behind anything that vents heat, and no rock at any corner on a washer. An unlevel washer destroys its own suspension over time, and a machine wedged into a tight space is recirculating its own exhaust.

What the Visit Actually Involves

The diagnostic is $99, or $150 on a stacked washer-dryer or a double wall oven, because in both of those cases two machines have to be separated or both cavities tested before anything can be assessed. That fee is applied to the repair the moment you approve the work, so an approved job never pays it twice.

The technician measures before quoting. On cooking equipment that means metering an igniter’s current draw rather than watching it glow, because a weak igniter glows convincingly and never lights. On refrigeration it means testing the start relay before anyone says the word compressor, because a hum-then-click is far more often a small part than the large one.

On laundry it means checking the electrical supply and the exhaust before the heating circuit. You get the firm total before the work begins, and the lead time up front on anything that has to be ordered.

If nothing needs replacing — the appliance was in a mode, the fault cleared on a cold start, the problem was outside the machine — you pay the $99 and nothing else. There is no separate charge for adjustment, calibration or advice. Every completed repair carries a 90-day parts and labor warranty.

Our general approach is set out on how technicians diagnose appliances, and the pricing method on how we price appliance repair.
