Appliance Repair in Bradenton, FL
Refrigerator, washer, dryer, dishwasher, oven, freezer and ice maker. You get the total before we start, and the $99 diagnostic comes off the bill when you approve the repair.
What Appliance Repair Actually Costs in Bradenton
Medians from our own completed Bradenton invoices, parts and labour and the service call together. Two columns, because people ask two different questions: what a typical visit costs across everything we did including diagnostic-only calls, and what it costs once a component is genuinely being replaced. The second number is the one you want when the machine has clearly failed rather than just misbehaved.
| Appliance | Median, all paid jobs | Median with a part replaced | Middle half | Paid jobs (n) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Refrigerator | $287 | $327 | $261 to $378 | 93 |
| Washer | $331 | $358 | $329 to $431 | 67 |
| Dryer | $294 | $298 | $278 to $390 | 48 |
| Dishwasher | $225 | $317 | $255 to $367 | 25 |
| Oven and range | $240 | $287 | $265 to $414 | 22 |
| Freezer and ice maker | $327 | $342 | $319 to $407 | 7 |
Bradenton is materially cheaper than the rest of our Tampa Bay territory, and the gap is real rather than rounding. Our median with a part replaced here is $329.
Across the bay in St. Petersburg the same figure is $364, and the difference is widest on the biggest category: a Bradenton refrigerator repair with a part is $327 against $392 in St. Petersburg, a gap of $65 on the appliance that generates the most calls in both cities.
The top ten percent of Bradenton jobs starts at $473, which is a notably lower ceiling than we see elsewhere on the coast, and that is what pulls the whole distribution down — we simply do less sealed-system and compressor work here. For the surrounding context we publish how much appliance repair costs in Tampa and the underlying cost by component across 29,315 repairs.
Why Bradenton Looks Different From the Rest of the Bay
Bradenton is the seat of Manatee County, sitting on the south bank of the Manatee River and separated from Anna Maria Island and Longboat Key by the Intracoastal Waterway.
It holds 55,698 people in 29,021 housing units, it grew 12.4 percent in the last census decade, and it takes 56.28 inches of rain a year of which 35.41 inches falls between June and September. Two of those numbers shape our schedule directly.
This is our newest territory, and it is growing faster than anywhere we work 1 JOB IN 2024, 220 IN 2026
Our Bradenton job history is one job in 2024, 194 in 2025 and 220 in the first eight months of 2026. 316 of our 415 jobs here — 76 percent — fall in the last twelve months. No other city in our Tampa Bay territory has that shape; St. Petersburg by comparison has 919 jobs built up over four years.
It matters for two practical reasons. First, this is a live and expanding route rather than an occasional trip, so same-day availability in Bradenton is genuinely good. Second, it means the figures on this page describe current work and current prices rather than an average dragged down by history, which is unusual and worth trusting more than an older data set.
One in six Bradenton homes is empty at census time, and our calls follow the residents APRIL 13.3 PERCENT · SEPTEMBER 4.3 PERCENT
The 2020 census recorded a 16.1 percent vacancy rate across Bradenton housing, which is the fingerprint of a seasonal population. Our call volume follows it exactly. April is our busiest month at 13.3 percent of the year, May 12.5, March 11.1 — a spring peak — while September is the floor at 4.3 percent and August, October and February all sit at 5.5.
That is the opposite shape to St. Petersburg across the bay, where the peak is August. The mechanism is not weather, it is occupancy: appliances fail when they are used, and in Bradenton they are used hardest between March and May. One honest caveat — we have twenty months of history here, so treat the monthly ordering as a strong signal rather than a settled fact.
Lakewood Ranch is nearly a third of our Bradenton work 124 JOBS FROM TWO ZIP CODES
34211 and 34212 both carry the Lakewood Ranch name in USPS records, and between them they account for 124 of our 415 Bradenton jobs, with 93 of those in the last twelve months.
Lakewood Ranch runs roughly 55 square miles east of I-75 across Manatee and Sarasota counties, is in its thirty-second year of development and now holds more than 77,000 people, and it has ranked second nationally for master-planned community sales three years running.
The equipment there reads differently from the older city: GE is 28 percent of branded jobs and Samsung 22, the signature of builder-installed packages. In the older western ZIP codes it is Whirlpool 22 percent, GE 22, LG 18 and Kenmore 10 — and Kenmore does not appear in Lakewood Ranch at all, which is as clean an age-of-housing marker as our data produces.
The dryer is the surest call in the city ONLY 88 percent end with a part fitted
Forty-two of our 48 paid Bradenton dryer visits ended with a part fitted. Twelve percent is the highest part-fitted share of any appliance in any of our Tampa Bay cities. At the other end, 40 percent of dishwasher visits.
That spread is the most useful thing on this page for deciding whether to book: a dryer that has stopped is almost certainly broken and worth a call, while a dishwasher that has stopped cleaning is more likely a filter, a spray arm or scale, and the checks on the dishwasher page are worth ten minutes before you pick up the phone.
316 of our 415 Bradenton jobs are from the last twelve months, and 220 fall in 2026. This is an active daily route across Manatee County rather than an occasional trip, so same-day slots are realistic when you book early. Book online or call (863) 663-2086.
Do We Cover Your Address? Bradenton by ZIP
Eight Bradenton ZIP codes carry real volume for us and we cover all of them at the same price, with no travel surcharge between them. Several carry a second name in USPS records, which is worth knowing if your address does not say Bradenton on it.
| ZIP | Also known as | Our jobs | Last 12 months | Median paid job |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 34209 | Palma Sola | 66 | 48 | $304 |
| 34212 | Lakewood Ranch | 66 | 55 | $298 |
| 34211 | Lakewood Ranch | 58 | 38 | $287 |
| 34203 | Braden River | 41 | 34 | $312 |
| 34205 | Cedar Hammock, West Bradenton | 40 | 31 | $302 |
| 34207 | Bayshore Gardens | 40 | 31 | $253 |
| 34210 | — | 37 | 24 | $271 |
| 34208 | Samoset | 36 | 27 | $293 |
The spread between the highest and lowest median here is $253 to $312, a range of about twenty percent. That is remarkably tight compared with St. Petersburg, where the same table runs from $250 to $462. Bradenton simply does not contain the extremes: there is no dense tower of integrated panel-ready kitchens at one end and no large stock of postwar bungalows at the other.
What it has instead is a broad middle, and that is why the whole city sits in a narrow price band. 34212 is our busiest ZIP by recent volume with 55 jobs in the last twelve months, which reflects how quickly the Lakewood Ranch side is being built out.
Around Bradenton
Bradenton sits mid-way down our Gulf coast route and the neighbouring territory has its own pages built on its own job history. South past Sarasota we cover Venice, where 239 jobs sit in a noticeably higher price band than this city. Full metro structure is on appliance repair in Tampa Bay. North across the Skyway we cover St. Petersburg with 919 jobs on record, and on the barrier islands Tierra Verde.
South it is Longboat Key and Sarasota; east of the bay Brandon and Wesley Chapel. City-level pages for the wider bay are refrigerator repair in Tampa FL, washer repair, dryer repair, dishwasher repair, oven repair and ice maker repair.
Match Your Symptom to the Likely Cause
- Fresh-food section warm, freezer still cold — evaporator fan, defrost heater or defrost control. Refrigerators are 93 of our paid Bradenton jobs, more than any other appliance. Background: refrigerator not cooling and the correct refrigerator temperature.
- Washer fills but will not spin, or walks across the floor — lid switch, drive belt, hall sensor, worn suspension. Washers are our most expensive category here at $358 with a part. See washing machine out of balance.
- Dryer runs but clothes come out damp — airflow first, then the element or thermostat. 88 percent of Bradenton dryer visits end with a part fitted, so a stopped dryer is almost always a real part.
- Dishwasher will not drain, or leaves a film — filter, drain hose or scale on the spray arms before anything else. Sixty percent of these calls end with a part fitted. See how hard water affects your dishwasher.
- Oven will not reach temperature, or a gas burner clicks without lighting — element, igniter, sensor or the control board. Sixty-eight percent part-fitted share, usually because the oven is accurate and the thermometer is not.
- No ice, or a freezer that will not hold temperature — frozen fill tube, inlet valve, filter or the defrost circuit. Our smallest Bradenton category at seven paid jobs, so that page leans on our company-wide data and says so.
Which Brands We See in Bradenton
187 of our Bradenton jobs carry a brand on the paperwork. GE leads at 21.9 percent, then Whirlpool 19.8, Samsung 17.1, LG 16.0, Maytag 5.3, KitchenAid 5.3, Frigidaire 4.8 and Kenmore 3.7. The number that stands out against our other Tampa Bay cities is LG at 16 percent — in St. Petersburg it is 9.5 — and it concentrates in the newer eastern ZIP codes where builder packages went in.
GE, Whirlpool and Frigidaire common failure parts ride on the van, which covers about 46 percent of our tagged work here; Samsung and LG refrigerator electronics are the components most likely to need ordering, and that is where a second visit comes from.
One caution that applies to every brand table: this is how often we are called to a brand, not how reliable it is, because a brand with a large installed base generates more calls simply by being everywhere. We treat that distinction properly in most reliable appliance brands and appliance repair cost by brand.
Repair or Replace, in Bradenton Numbers
A repair with a part replaced runs $329 here, which is the lowest of any city we have written up on the Gulf coast. A mid-market replacement refrigerator is roughly $1,100 to $1,600 installed, a washer $700 to $1,200, a dryer $650 to $1,100.
At $329 against those numbers the repair case in Bradenton is stronger than almost anywhere, and it stays strong longer, because the top ten percent of jobs here only starts at $473 rather than running into sealed-system territory.
The two places it still turns are a compressor or sealed-system diagnosis on an older refrigerator, and a control board on a machine over ten years old where you are buying one component group on a cabinet full of the same vintage. Our framework is the repair or replace guide, with lifespan by appliance in how long refrigerators last.

Appliance Repair in Bradenton — Questions We Get
How much does appliance repair cost in Bradenton, FL?
The median completed job in Bradenton is $287, and $329 once a part is actually replaced, parts and labor and the service call together. Those are medians from 301 paid jobs we have run inside the city. The bottom quarter finishes at $171 and the top quarter starts at $359.
By appliance, the median with a part replaced is $358 on washers, $342 on freezers and ice makers, $327 on refrigerators, $317 on dishwashers, $298 on dryers and $287 on ovens and ranges.
Why is Bradenton cheaper than St. Petersburg?
Our median with a part replaced is $329 in Bradenton against $364 in St. Petersburg, and the gap is widest on refrigerators — $327 here against $392 there. The reason is the ceiling rather than the floor: the top ten percent of Bradenton jobs starts at $473, which is low, meaning we do proportionally less sealed-system and compressor work in this city.
Bradenton also lacks the extremes of the peninsula, with no dense stock of integrated panel-ready kitchens at one end and no large postwar bungalow stock at the other.
Which Bradenton ZIP codes do you cover?
Eight carry real volume for us: 34203, 34205, 34207, 34208, 34209, 34210, 34211 and 34212. There is no travel surcharge between them and the price list is identical.
Several carry a second name in USPS records, which matters if your address does not say Bradenton: 34209 is also Palma Sola, 34211 and 34212 are also Lakewood Ranch, 34203 is Braden River, 34205 is Cedar Hammock and West Bradenton, 34207 is Bayshore Gardens and 34208 is Samoset.
Do you cover Lakewood Ranch?
Yes, and heavily. 34211 and 34212 both carry the Lakewood Ranch name and between them account for 124 of our 415 Bradenton jobs, with 93 of those in the last twelve months. 34212 is currently our single busiest Bradenton ZIP by recent volume.
The equipment there skews to builder-installed packages — GE is 28 percent of branded jobs and Samsung 22 — compared with the older western part of the city where Whirlpool, GE, LG and Kenmore dominate.
What have you actually repaired in Bradenton?
415 jobs across 365 households, 311 of them completed and 301 paid. By appliance, paid completed work: refrigerators 93, washers 67, dryers 48, dishwashers 25, ovens and ranges 22, freezers and ice makers 7.
This is our newest territory — one job in 2024, 194 in 2025 and 220 in the first eight months of 2026 — so 316 of the 415, which is 76 percent, fall in the last twelve months. These figures describe current work rather than history.
What do I pay if the machine does not need a part?
You pay the $99 diagnostic and nothing else. In Bradenton that happened on 71 of 301 paid visits, 24 percent, against 37 percent company-wide. It is very uneven by appliance: dishwashers end with a part fitted 60 percent of the time and ovens 32 percent, while dryers do it only 88 percent — the lowest part-fitted share of any appliance in any of our Tampa Bay cities.
So a dryer that has stopped is almost certainly worth a call, and a dishwasher that has stopped cleaning is worth ten minutes of checks first.
When is the busiest time of year, and can you come out the same day?
Bradenton peaks in spring rather than summer: April is our busiest month at 13.3 percent of the year, May 12.5 and March 11.1, while September is the floor at 4.3 percent. That is the opposite shape to St. Petersburg across the bay and it tracks occupancy rather than heat — the 2020 census recorded a 16.1 percent housing vacancy rate here, the fingerprint of a seasonal population.
Same-day is realistic because this is an active daily route with 316 jobs in the last twelve months. We have twenty months of history in this city, so treat the monthly ordering as a strong signal rather than a settled fact.
