Appliance Repair in Hollywood, FL

Appliance repair in Hollywood, FL runs a median of $278 per completed job, and $379 once a part is actually replaced. Those numbers come from 521 jobs at Hollywood addresses across 440 households, 368 of which finished as completed paid work and 214 of those ending with a part installed.

The bottom quarter of visits finishes at $98, the diagnostic on its own, and the top quarter starts at $397. This is the second largest city in our Broward file, behind only Fort Lauderdale, and it is also the oldest housing stock we work in anywhere in the county, which turns out to explain most of what follows.

What Appliance Repair Costs in Hollywood

Every figure below is a median from our own completed Hollywood invoices, with the part, the labour and the service call added together as one number. The first price column answers what a typical visit ends up costing across everything we did that day.

The second answers the question you should be asking when a machine has clearly stopped rather than started misbehaving, which is what it costs once a part is genuinely replaced. The last column is the sample, so you can weigh each line for yourself.

The reason the top of this table sits where it does is not the postcode, it is the age and the kind of machine behind the door. Hollywood was substantially built before most of the county existed, and the appliances in it are on their third and fourth generation, which means the faults reaching us skew toward boards, motors and sealed systems rather than belts and switches.

Company-wide context is on how much appliance repair costs in Miami, and the logic behind two price columns is on how appliance repair pricing works.

Hollywood the City and Hollywood the Postmark Are Not the Same Place

This needs saying plainly at the top, because it affects how you should read every number on this page and on our neighbouring city pages.

The city of Hollywood covers 27.25 square miles and holds 153,067 residents as of the 2020 census. Its core postal areas are 33019 on the beach, 33020 through the centre, 33021 to the northwest and 33023 to the south, and in those four we hold 376 jobs across 325 households, at a median of $376 once a part is replaced. That is Hollywood proper.

But the United States Postal Service also uses Hollywood as the primary city name for postal areas that physically sit in Pembroke Pines, which is why 145 of our 521 Hollywood-addressed jobs are in 33024, 33025 and 33026. Those are real jobs at addresses that genuinely say Hollywood on the envelope, and they are counted in the 521 on this page.

They are also described, from the other direction, on appliance repair in Pembroke Pines, where the same territory is covered as part of that city. Nothing is double counted, because a job is filed under the city its address gives, and both pages say so.

What that means for you is simple. If your mail says Hollywood, this is your page whichever of the two cities you would name yourself, and the routes, technicians and price list are identical either way.

It also means the shared postal areas carry a slightly higher median with a part, $394 against $376 in the core city, which is what you would expect given the newer and larger housing on that side.

The Oldest Housing We Work In, and What It Does to Appliances

Hollywood was incorporated on 28 November 1925, founded and first led by Joseph Young as a planned city, with two yacht basins dredged and connected to the Intracoastal Waterway to a design by General George Washington Goethals, chief engineer of the Panama Canal. It took the full force of the 1926 Miami hurricane, with losses reported second only to Miami itself.

By 1960 it already held 12,170 single-family homes and more than 2,400 hotel units, and it has 5 to 6 miles of Atlantic beachfront. Population went from 139,357 in 2000 to 140,768 in 2010 and 153,067 in 2020, which is modest growth on a base that was largely built long before.

Set that against the other cities we cover in this county and the contrast is stark. Coral Springs reached residential build-out in 2003. Pembroke Pines went from 35,776 residents in 1980 to 137,427 in 2000. Hollywood was already a substantially complete city when both of those were farmland. That difference shows up directly in what we are called out for.

Older houses mean later-generation appliances. A kitchen fitted in the 1950s has been through four or five sets of machines, and what stands there now was mostly bought in the last fifteen years, which puts it squarely in the age band where control boards, motors and sealed systems fail rather than belts and switches.

Our local invoices bear that out: a washer control board replacement, a refrigerator compressor with filter and valve together, a range cooling fan motor, a dishwasher motor. Those are the mid-life and late-life failures, and they are why four of our six category medians sit above the South Florida figures.

Older houses also mean retrofitted installations. Laundry that was added to a house built before laundry rooms were standard tends to sit in a converted space, a garage corner, a hallway closet or a stacked pair in a small apartment, and our file carries four separate stacked washer-dryer service calls to prove the point.

That is the single largest reason the washer median here reaches $412 while the component list tops out at $450: on this appliance, in this city, you are frequently paying for access as much as for a part.

What Makes Hollywood Its Own Appliance Market

Four Checks Worth Running Before You Book

These take about ten minutes between them, they cost nothing, and each resolves a real share of the calls we take here. Any of them can turn out to be the whole answer, and knowing which you tried tells us what to bring.

• Unplug the appliance for five full minutes, not five seconds. In a city where most machines are of an age where the board runs everything, this is the highest-yield check on the list. A control board holding a bad state after a power interruption produces faults that look mechanical and terminal and are neither. Five minutes fully unplugged drains the capacitors and forces a genuine cold start.
• Vacuum the condenser coil and clear four inches behind the unit. On a refrigerator or freezer the coil is behind the lower front grille or on the back panel. Within a mile or two of the beach the fins collect salt as well as dust, and a blanketed coil is on its own enough to stop a machine holding temperature in summer.
• Level the washer and check the pump filter trap. Push down on each front corner in turn: any rock means the feet need adjusting. Then open the small hatch at the bottom front and clear the trap, putting a towel down first. In a city where the washer median is the second highest in the county, the checks are worth doing properly when you book.
• Check the dryer vent all the way to where it leaves the building. Disconnect the duct at the back, look at what comes out, then confirm air is actually escaping outside. If your laundry is a stacked pair in an apartment, ask the building when the shared riser was last cleaned, because a restriction there is invisible from inside your unit.

Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause

• Refrigerator section warm, freezer still cold. Evaporator fan motor or a defrost fault rather than a refrigerant problem. Cold is being made and not moved. The most common refrigerator repair we run in this city.
• Whole refrigerator warm and the machine compartment is silent. Start relay, compressor or inverter board. The top of the local band and the one fault we will not quote over the phone.
• Runs constantly and never quite gets cold. Door gasket, or a condenser coil loaded with salt and dust. Both free to check.
• Washer will not spin but fills and drains. Door lock or lid switch first, drive belt second, motor control board third. Our local file has a board at $560.
• Washer leaking from the door during the wash. Front-load door boot seal, and one of our local jobs is exactly that at $489.
• Dryer tumbles cold or the heat cuts out. Thermal cutoff, limiter or high limit thermostat, and behind all three, an exhaust that needs clearing.
• Dishwasher standing in water at the end of a cycle. Drain pump or a blocked drain path. It is the most common single repair on our local dishwasher file.
• Dishwasher fills and will not stop, or will not fill at all. Float switch, the overfill sensor that tells the machine when to stop. One of our local jobs replaced it with a lower spray arm.
• Oven display and controls behaving oddly rather than the heat failing. On many ranges there is a cooling fan whose job is to keep the electronics cool, and our local file has one at $583.
• Oven door will not close square. Hinge, and our local file has a hinge replacement at $345. Worth fixing early because a door that does not seal makes everything else work harder.
• Gas burner clicks but will not light. Igniter or spark module, after you have refitted the burner cap square and cleared the ports.
• Ice maker stopped but the fridge is cold. Different subsystem entirely, and ice maker replacement is the single most common job on our local ice file.

Which Brands We Actually See in Hollywood

By job count across the city: Samsung 65, Whirlpool 35, GE 33, Maytag 20 and Frigidaire 19, with LG, Kenmore and Thermador behind them. Samsung at 34 percent of all branded work is the highest concentration of any Broward city we cover, and it shows up across every category rather than in one: Samsung washers, Samsung ranges, Samsung refrigerators and Samsung dryers all appear repeatedly in the local file.

That is good news for turnaround, because Samsung parts for the common failures ride on the van here and the majority of repairs finish on the first visit. The exceptions worth flagging at booking are the premium built-ins, since our file also carries Thermador and a combination wall oven and microwave unit, where a board or a fan assembly is frequently a specific order with a lead time.

When you call, give us the brand and the model number from the plate inside the door frame, behind the lower grille or under the cooktop lid. What these counts do and do not say about reliability is set out on the most-serviced appliance brands, because a brand appearing often in a repair log mostly means a lot of people own it.

Repair or Replace, on the Hollywood Numbers

For five of the six categories the arithmetic favours repair, though by a narrower margin here than in the newer cities to the west.

A dishwasher at $332 with a part replaced, a dryer at $365, a refrigerator at $407, a freezer or ice maker at $411 or a washer at $412, set against a comparable new unit plus delivery, haul-away and installation, still comes out in favour of repair in the great majority of cases, and in an older house it comes out further ahead than the price tag suggests: kitchens and laundry spaces fitted decades ago rarely accept a modern appliance without adjustment, and on a built-in or a stacked pair the installation is a real job in itself.

The two situations where the sum genuinely changes are worth stating plainly. A sealed-system failure on a refrigerator past twelve years is a real decision point rather than an automatic repair, and our local file contains a compressor job with a filter and valve together at $901 to show the point exists.

And a control board on a machine that has already had one board is usually the start of a sequence rather than the end of a problem. We will say so when we see either, rather than quoting the repair and going quiet. The full framework is in the repair versus replacement guide, and typical service lives are on how long refrigerators last.
